Natchez Trace Complete

What an enjoyable week of biking with a couple of great friends. Weather was great, a few cool days and a few days of challenging heat. Some long mileage days and some shorter days with a lot of hills. Saw the hills go from moderate to really long to steep and long. Plus we saw some really cool sites and learned a few things along the way.

Stats: 7- days of riding with a total of 485- miles. An average of 69.3- miles per day. It was more of a challenging ride than I had expected, but extremely enjoyable.

Scenic View

5- miles to go!

1812 Memorial

Honoring the soldiers buried along the Natchez Trace.

Fly General Store

Famous sandwich stop along the Trace on Fly Tennessee. Notice the old adding machine with the meat slicer beside it.

Baskets Bluff Overlook

Another nice overlook.

Scenic view after a hard climb. Not as impressive as it should have been. 

Water Fall Leaving Fall Hollow

Part way up the big climb leaving Fall Hollow. Have me an excuse to stop and take a picture.
