Rides

It's been quiet again. Is anybody riding? It's hot as heck out here, but I'm still riding. Still doing the Saturday breakfast rides every week. Yesterday I put on 210 miles for breakfast up into the mountains and back. Went from 1500ft at the house to over 7000ft and back. 70degs up there and got home before it got really hot. It was only 101 when I pulled into the driveway at 11:00AM. Rick

Love TN. I'll be flying into Nashville the middle of October and we're driving over to Asheville for a couple of days. My other half lives in Mt. Juliet because of her job, for now. I'd move to eastern TN to be close to the mountains, if I could, but my job is out here in AZ and I can't retire for a couple of more years. Oh well, Southwest loves us. Rick

Has anybody done the Natchez Trace? My wife and I have been on it twice. Speed limit is 45 and there are very few cars on it. Just beautiful country. It is kept manicured by the park service and there are plenty of places to stop. If you want to stop to eat, you will have to get off at one of the nearby cities. It runs from Nashville, TN to Natchez MS close to 600 miles long. You can check it out on the web. https://www.nps.gov/natr/index.htm I might add, it is FREE!!!!!!

We took it about 125 miles south out of of Nashville. Beautiful quiet road with little traffic. No semi's allowed and everybody else is in a rush on the super slab. Rick

Yes its a great ride! Watch for wildlife. Lots of interesting stops along the way. Tupelo to Nashville is my favorite section. I think speed limit is 50 on most of it. I usually set cruise at 55. Never had a problem. If you get a ticket the local courts can't help. It's patrolled by Federal Agents.:wave4:
