Nashville's Stones River Greenway

Temp: 80, partly Cloudy



I had a great ride on the Stones River Greenway starting at the the Wave Park. The above picture is the tunnel that you come to almost immediately after leaving the wave park. This greenway is very hilly so I was able to only go 3.7 miles with some walking. It goes by the Golf course and by Mc Gavic High school. You end up near Heartland park and the bridge that is going to go over the
Stones River. When this section is done it will be nice long ride to Percy Priest Dam. Started a tan on my legs and was proud I was able to climb some of the hills on the bike. This is a fun way to get fit.

Spring has Sprung!!

Temp: 77 Partly Cloudy

Around 11 this morning I started the "MetroCenter Levee Greenway" in Nashville
It is a wonderful 3 mile ride along the Cumberland river that meanders through Nashville.
A levee was built for flood control for the Metro Center and the City asked if they could put a greenway on top. After completion it is a beautiful level ride along the river.
Yes, spring has arrived. This is the first full day of spring and the trees are in full bloom and the flowers are blossoming. It was a nice relaxing ride but I was able to only do about 5 miles.

There is company coming up the river. 

This was also the first time to take the EZ 1 on the car carrier. It was ungainly and needs some problems worked out.

Well the forecasters hit it on the head and I could only catch a little ride in the neighborhood between showers. For those that do not know about recumbent bikes and the EZ 1 check out this link. EZ 1 SC It is a heavy duty bike for me, I weigh 260 pounds, and is a good bike to start out.
I don't think I will be touring so I might have it a while. I have added a rack, Sigma Sport wired computer, Cateye LED front and rear lights, a Windwrap fairing, signal bell, and handlebar-end mirror. Makes for a very good greenway riding bike and I get a lot of exercise. Speaking of exercise, today after riding for the first time this season yesterday, I am very sore. Now to get back on the bike every day and get back into shape.
