There have been a couple of posts that refer to Memphis. Please note that Memphis is nowhere near the Natchez Trace. The Trace is within a 60 minute bike ride of me, but Memphis is brutal 3 hour drive in the truck. The hills are definitely there, but the Trace is "relatively" considered rolling. But please plan on coming, this is beautiful country and the Franklin Tn area is a great area to bike. A postcard around every corner.
