In two days we will drive to Nashville only to turnaround and ride our bikes back home. Seems a silly thing for a bunch of adults to do, but everyone in the group I've spoken to is giddy like a rookie before the first game.
Obviously, activity on this blog has been, well...there has been no activity. I think that will change come Monday. For one thing, I hope to have time to post while on the trip; vacations should contain free time, right? Secondly, as the resident nerd, I plan to encourage the luddites of the group to transcribe their experiences out to the ether for all to read. One possible obstacle is the availability of Internet access in rural Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. No way you say? We will see. I'll be carrying a BlackBerry (aka CrackBerry) and will send updates from the road (literally). Service is as rare as restrooms on the Natchez Trace, but my outbox should clear when a signal is available.
1st post of many to come. Please feel free to comment or ask questions. Us cyclists tend to be a little nerdy and like details. On the other hand, some (like my stoker) just want to smell the flowers and enjoy the scenery. We will have something for everyone.

Nice Summer Activity:
People like me could benefit from such ride but I am out of state at this time. Good luck and may the good Lord guide, protect, and bless you all. I hope to check the blog for your progress reports.

I hope this isn't like that time in junior high when you rode your bike to McDonald's and then called you mom to come get you because it was too hard to ride back home.--Billy Breaux
May the road rise up to meet you, may you always have cool water,
and may St. Christopher move into Starbucks for the duration.

Allen, I will be with y'all in spirit...of course that is about all I am willing to commit too at this time. I know I couldn't ride a bike that far. :-)

It sounds like a fun ride. How long does it take?
