The Friends of the Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail is
having its 10th annual bike ride to support and maintain the trail.
On October 17, 2009, come ride the hills and valleys of the Cumberland
River Basin in Cheatham and Montgomery Counties while enjoying this
challenging ride in the beautiful autumn weather.
The Ride
The very flat 11-mile Family Ride follows the Cumberland River along Chapmansboro
Road which offers spectacular views and returns along the recently paved
trail. This route will give the rider an opportunity to visit the trail
and bridge.
The 31 and 62-mile courses will take you from the bluffs of the Cumberland
River through the "hills and hollers" up to the Highland Rim.
The paved routes follow lightly traveled rural roads through Cheatham
and Montgomery Counties. This is hill country, so expect a few good climbs
while you enjoy the early fall foliage. In other words, these are tough
routes.
