We put on rides about once a month over in Hickman County(east of Nashville) that are done almost entirely on gravel roads. These rides are NOT road bike friendly with most of the riders using 29er mountain bikes, some of the riders riding cyclocross bikes and a few adventurous riders on touring bikes with cross tires. This Sunday we will be meeting at East Hickman High School on Hwy 7 at 9:00 for a 40-50 mile ride. This ride will feature many creek crossings(some as deep as 2 feet), steep hills, and beautiful scenery. We usually average between 10-13 mph on these rides and for every 10 miles of riding, we come close to 1000 feet of climbing. The last ride we did, we ended up with about 15 riders and I am expecting more than that this time around. We have a buddy system to look out for each other and to make sure no one gets dropped.
If you would be interested in joining, post here or send me an email or give me a call...This ride does not have a route as we are calling this an exploration ride to check out new roads.
