Took off today on the bike and did a nice tour of Franklin TN. Nice 15 mile trip with some pretty views along the way. Rode a little through downtown as well!!

I did have to replace a tube part-way through the ride, but the park was a nice place to have to do that!! I hit a bad pothole trying to miss a couple walkers and a dog……

Then finished the evening with a good dinner and beer at Old Chicagos!

Have you ever heard of the East Coast Greenway?  The East Coast Greenway connects 15 states, 450 cities and towns, and 3,000 miles of people-powered trails from Maine to Florida —the country’s longest biking and walking route.

On its way through central and eastern North Carolina, the East Coast Greenway showcases the state’s natural features and cultural diversity. From rolling hills of pine, oak, and hickory forests to farmlands, thriving cities, cypress swamps, and coastal beaches, travelers will experience much of the Tar Heel State’s best.

The current spine route passes through the Research Triangle cities of Durham and Raleigh on extensive greenway trails, then touches the Sandhills and enters Fayetteville. It runs across the coastal plain along the Cape Fear River and explores the port city of Wilmington.

In addition to this main route, the Historic Coastal Route extends south from Virginia on the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail and follows the North Carolina coast more closely, linking Greenville and Jacksonville before heading into Wilmington to join the spine route.
