Day #6, Bobby Natchez Trace Ride

This day brought a lot of traffic as we were leaving Nashville on back roads on the way to Murfreesboro, TN for this days 68 mile ride. Plus there were many small hills with curving roads, but the scenery was beautiful with views of horse farms and estate type homes. We asked and got permission to use a church shed they use for "all day singing and eating on the ground" and were lucky to avoid a nice rain shower that passed this rest stop. So, our riders avoided getting wet. We were expecting bad weather later, but if it came, I slept though it. Two notable instances today. First, the person who provided us with the route to Murfreesboro and to Chattanooga lives in Murfreesboro and invited us to dinner at her home to be joined by several couples from the Murfreesboro Bicycling Club. Had a feast of BBQ, beans, slaw, and Key Lime Pie! Wow! Many thanks, Sarah!!! A number of that club joined the Bobby Tour the next morning to Bell Buckle, TN.
The second instance for this day was the riders waiting out the rain shower got into a little singing as Wade played his harmonica! The video today show Bobby "Two Heart" Rone, the ride leader in a rare situation.
