Biking Music City Bikeway + Centennial Park + TN Bicentennial Mall

The Music City Bikeway is my favorite bike ride in the area. It had been a few years since I’d been biking on it and it called me. The last time I rode it I’d ridden my bike 1,500 miles that year. This time I’d ridden my bike 55 miles prior to riding the 33-mile …

Percy Warner Park – My Favorite Park In Nashville, TN

First Bikepacking Trip – Land Between The Lakes

I’ve never gone bikepacking but wanted to give it a try. I’d spent a good part of the winter learning about it. Max decided he’d go with me (his first time too). For my first bikepacking trip we went up to Land Between The Lakes to ride on the 28-mile North-South Trace: Canton Road to …

Getting Ready For My First Bikepacking Trip

Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail (Ashland City, TN) – Biking

It is a rails to trails conversion that runs alongside the Cumberland River with an awesome bridge. Oh…and I almost lost my drone (because I didn’t check the wind conditions). That was a fun near heart …

Breckenridge, Colorado – Summer Fun (Ziplining and Mountain Biking)

We visited Breckenridge, Colorado for a few days back in the Summer of 2018. The boys and the girls ziplined on a stunning course. The boys did some mountain biking. This was the easy kind of biking. It was all downhill without all the annoying sweating and panting involved in pedaling up the mountain. Pops …
