May 15 & 16 - Two days on the Virginia Creeper. 69 miles of crushed limestone, gravel, packed dirt, not-so-packed mud, rocks and roots. It was FANTASTIC!!
April 28 - After a short drive from Memphis to New Albany MS, we got to spend the afternoon on the Tanglefoot Trail. Excellent Rail-Trail. Excellent Ride.
April 27 - Fun day in Memphis with friends from Huntsville AL riding the Big River Crossing and exploring a little bit of the city and then riding the Shelby Farms Green Line Trail. Go Memphis!
April 19 & 20. We had a fun two days biking, visiting and eating near Myrtle Beach SC. Day 1 - 17.6 miles on the Waccamaw Neck Trail from Garden City, through Murrells Inlet and Huntington Beach State Park to our turnaround at Litchfield by the Sea. Beautiful trail and no real alligators - Yea! Day 2 - 7.7 miles on a Garden City Ramble with "all you need here is a cruser" Sandy, our local guide and B's childhood BFF. Pigged-out at the Conch on the beach.

March 24, 2017 - The Tweetsie
We spent a nice, laid-back day on our Trek riding Tennessee's longest Rail-Trail - though by Rail-Trail standards, kinda short. The Tweetsie's 9.5 miles of excellent chipped limestone surface runs from Johnson City to Elizabethton in upper East Tennessee. Johnson City to Happy Valley (about halfway) is beautiful; Happy Valley to/through Elizabethton is busy(!) with way too many street crossings. Bottom Line - A Very Good Ride.

January - March: The Townsend Greenway is our goto once or twice a week, 20 mile, just for fun and exercise ride. It never seems to get boring. When the traffic to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park is light, we'll run up to the Townsend Wye and the Tremont Edu. Center. Nice ride up and a great ride back.
