The Decision


I bought the bike, and I always wanted to do some long, multiple day rides.  I have done the Jack and Back, which is a 2 day ride from Franklin, TN to Jack Daniels Distillery and back.  It is a fund raiser for MS, and is the local MS 150 ride, 75 miles each way, and you stay near Jack Daniels, and then go there for a great party that evening.  Not too much fun though, because you get up the next day and ride back.  A great time with your friends, and many that become your friends.  I actually ran into one of my high school classmates on the ride.  I have done other 1 day events, usually from 50 - 100 miles, they are local rides.

But I have never ridden my bike on a multiple day trip into areas that I have never ridden before.  I have been to many cities close to the Trace but I have never driven or been on all of the Trace from one end to the other.

So, I decided to put it on the calendar and make it happen.  Like you, if it's not on the calendar, it won't happen, we are all just too busy to take a week off from life.  

I am hoping that this all goes well and that I will tackle another biking challenge next year, but first one thing at a time.
