car or truck. An interesting abandoned rail roadbed in the north west end
of the county is documented and mapped. |

the effort |
|

1997 |
Seven great, but some very
challenging bicycle trails are described with directions requiring a good
back country map to follow. Because these trails are actually lightly used
roads, caution is the by-word. These are grown-up challenges, so better
leave the little tykes at home this time. |
|
DAVIDSON COUNTY |
|
It has become a quest and a
challenge by Nostalgiaville's Chief Explorer to document some of the many
great bicycle trails in Davidson County. The Greenway system, some finished

Nashville's future as a great place to live and raise a family. |

FENTRESS COUNTY |
1997 |
Once you try these two trails...
you will most assuredly vow to never, ever do them again. The scenery is
pronounced... the hills on gravel roads near impossible. If you ever wanted
a bicycling challenge... this is it. After you try these trails, E-mail us

FRANKLIN COUNTY |
|
|
|

many spectacular views of the Tennessee River. |
