I'll be there Wed-Sun for NAMM, and will start each morning off with a two hour ride. I was going to just go exploring and see what happens. Any particular routes you would recommend?

Head down to Percy Warner Park- there's a good 12-mile low-traffic loop inside the park, with hills. Google map yourself to the Belle Meade Boulevard entrance; it's about 8 miles from downtown- shorter loops also available in the park.

Or, head across the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge to the Shelby Bottoms Greenway and across the river to the Stones Greenway... pretty flat route... greenway ride would be slower since it's a MUP. Percy Warner is on regular roads so is a bit faster.
