Cycling – Road Route – Guntersville- International Ride of Chicken Houses

by 41 people

Poor Fair Good Excellent Extraordinary
As expected from the name, this tour of one of the top chicken-producing counties in the state will pass many chicken houses. But, this 38-mile ruggedly beautiful ride gives a lot more than its length and goofy name indicates. Beginning at the Guntersville Recreation Center, this route crosses the AL 69 causeway and immediately climbs the freshly paved Georgia Mountain Road to begin a raucous tour of the aggressively rolling roads across Brindlee Mountain. With a bit of navigation, the route rewards the adventurous rider with many roads that swoop and sweep through the rural sections of Marshall County.
