Wow.....I have done mountain road many of time but never at mile 100 or at 11:30pm. Sounds like a fun ride. Clarksville is a cool little town with great views of the river. I meet up with two guys from the Tarpits this morning in henderson at 6:30. I did 25 miles with them and meet up with four other Tarpits at the 8am ride. Refilled bottles and joined them for another 30 miles. Felt like I could handle a little more so I kept rolling for another 12. At that point the temps were more then I wanted and I called it a day.
