Do the Bump! Daily mileage options allow cyclists of varying abilities to enjoy this tour. A favorite option is to give cyclists a "bump" via the support vehicle, or a 10 to 20-mile lift down the road representing an hour of pedal time. After the bump, the rider is "off the front" and riding at his or her own pace without feeling they are being left behind the group. They'll then have time to linger and take in the spectacular scenery. All cyclists come together in time for lunch. Afterward, cyclists can take another bump and/or continue riding.
The Natchez Trace Parkway is one of North America’s best hidden gems. With vast stretches of twisty roadway with little vehicle traffic, tremendous scenery over ridges and through isolated hollows, undulating terrain with no big climbing, and with many small friendly towns steeped in history, it is no wonder that the “ Trace” is a destination for many bike enthusiasts.
Hope to see you there. Please let me know if you have any questions and when you are registered.
Best regards,
Barbara Thorn
