The first EZ Group ride this Year.

Temp: 82 Clear

4 EZ 3's, 1 EZ Tad and 1 EZ 1 went for a 11 o'clock ride at the Shelby Bottoms Greenway.



The Group is checking out the new bridge that is being built across the Cumberland river. This bridge will connect up multiple greenways that will allow a rider to start in Nashville and ride to the Percy Priest Dam or to Opra Mills. Also many downtown workers will be able to commute to work from as far away as Bell Road or from the Donelson Area without hardly hitting a street with automobile traffic.



As we rode we were able to see the General Jackson River Boat multiple times.
After deciding to go for "just one more mile" a couple of times, we had a glorious afternoon ride of over 12 miles. A great first ride of the season.

12.3 miles in the "Quest of Fitness" Total 31.5 miles first week.

Wow that is great! I have went to the Shelby Greenway and it is wonderful. I will have to try the other Greenways, but with my own 2 feet :)
Love,

Misty,
Thanks for your comment. The First!
you can find about all the greenways in Davidson cty and Murfreesboro,Smryna and Ashland City on the Greenways link from the Nashville EZ dealer link on the Blog.
The one that looks like a great walk is the one Ashland City. The old Train to trail one looks a little too rought for a recumbent but a great one for walking.
