    Route 08 is a 279 KM ride into Tennessee and North Carolina ending near Bakersville. Not a huge gap between 08 & 09, can navigate to start of 09. We do hit the Snake 421 through Shady Valley Tennessee. We also hit Grandfather Mountain on this ride. Once we leave Grandfather Mountain there are food, gas stops in Linville/Sugar Mountain area. The twisties on the route look amazing on the map!
    NOTE: when viewing in Google Earth the route looked funky, be careful when we are traveling on 421 we want to veer left onto 321 to head towards Boone. We stay on 321 towards Blowing Rock and then onto Blowing Rock Rd (hiway 221) this takes us to Grandfather Mountain. Then it’s a loop around 221 towards Linville where we head north towards Grandfather Golf & Country Club.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
