The Ride Home

 Friday

On the road again!

Stephanie & Steve, home from the national insulation convention (Steve works for Owens Corning) in National Harbor, MD, greeted us in the morning.  We packed the cars and said our good byes to Ellen and Tom.   We had to put the Aventon on the rack upside down, since there was no cross bar.  We had a beautiful drive through Tennessee.  The colors were at their peak.  We stopped to recharge the Tesla and had brunch at Grandma's in Cookeville.  Ann tried the French toast with amaretto and was impressed with this twist on traditional French toast.  We got as far as Bristol, TN and had Chick-Fil-A for dinner.


Saturday

Friday had been a rainy drive but most of the ride on Saturday was rain free.  The beautiful tree colors continued into Virginia.  We were able to eat outdoors at another Chick-Fil-A as the car charged in Staunton.  We arrived home at midafternoon and met Andrew, Nina and Carter for supper at Rusty Taco

Postlude

We were very impressed with our bike ride on the Natchez Trace.  It was great to be on the Parkway with no stop lights or stop sings for 444 miles.  It is a ride through history.  Philip did a great job choosing a variety of experiences and accommodations in addition to caring for us and our bikes.

Just recently I received an email from Google sharing my October Google Map Timeline.  It basically captured any place where I spent about an hour or more along the way.

Natchez Trace Day One & Day Two

Image
 Thursday October 21 st Our ride started with a visit to the famous Lovelace Café.   There was a festival going on, so we opted for take out.   We took our eggs, grits, fried chicken, country ham and homemade jams to our starting point, about 7 miles from the northern terminus of the Trace.   There were no picnic tables, so Philip set up a folding table and chairs. After our filling breakfast we started our ride at milepost 437 about 11:30am.   Philip drove ahead and we stopped every 10-15 miles for snacks, lunch and water refills.   The terrain is hilly and we crossed the Tennessee Divide.   Rain at the top goes to the Duck and Tennessee River on one side and to the Cumberland River on the other.   It is a north/south divide.   This point was known as the beginning of the wilderness as it was the boundary of the Chickasaw Nation. About 29 miles into the ride, Ellen switched to the electric Aventon.   Ann was on an electric bike the ...

Franklin/Nashville

Image
 Thursday  We had a busy last day seeing the sights in and around Nashville.  Starting in Franklin for 100 layer donuts at Five Daughter's Bakery.  We tried pumpkin spice and maple, both were delicious.  The bakery is located at the Factory Mall and is across from the Fork of the South store.  We picked up the extra Aventon battery which was mailed there.  We also found some unique gifts. A quick tour of Nashville included the Parthenon, a replica of the Greek Parthenon built for the Tennessee centennial.  On for a walk of lower Broadway which was hopping.  We walked to the river and then by the Ryman Auditorium.  We ordered a take out lunch at Jack's and headed to the Hermitage, the home of Andrew Jackson.  We ate our lunch at the picnic table and headed in for our tour of the mansion..   The home still has many of the furnishings dating back to Andrew Jackson's time.  The General and his wife, Rachel, are both burie...

Natchez Trace Day Four

Image
 Sunday - October 24 - Day 4 Jane prepared an elaborate breakfast including sausage, egg casserole, biscuits, stewed apples, cheese grits and four types of homemade jams.  We enjoyed talking with both Jane and her husband, Toby, who is a direct descendent of Patrick Henry and a retired Social Security judge. After our filling breakfast we headed back to the Trace to start our ride at Witch Dance Milepost 233 (these mileposts are distances from Natchez, MS).  We rode 52 miles ending at Historic French Camp which is right on the Trace. We stopped at the "Old Trace" to check out the historic sunken trail.  Ellen and Ann left the Trace for a short ride to a gas station for a restroom break. We had lunch at the Busby campground followed by a 13 mile end to our ride.  Unfortunately the Caffe at French Camp is closed on Sunday, so Phil drove us to Starkville, the home of Mississippi State, for dinner at Harvey's.   After an enjoyable meal, we returned to Fren...
