« on: October 06, 2011, 03:35:08 pm »

I am new to bike touring not cycling in general. I have researched different bikes and I currently own 6 Treks I am a Trek nut so....I am looking for a Trek 720 made in America bike. I know they are far and few but I am holding out that I will find one. I am 5'-9" with an inseam of 30". From what I have figured out I would need a 19" - 20" frame or 54cm to 56cm. I would take a complete bike or a frame and fork combination.If you have one that you would like to sell or know of one for sale please e-mail me or call. Thanks for your help and I hope to see you on the roads of America.

South / Cycling The Natchez Trace

« on: October 06, 2011, 07:40:57 am »

Has any one here done the Trace from end to end? I am thinking of doing this ride in the near future and trying to decide if I want to do it fully self contained or have a sag follow. What time of year would be a good time also. Also advise on camping facilities and what to expect as far as elevation changes. I will most likely start at the Nashville end and go south. If I do fully supported I need to figure out how to get back to N'ville or return back to my home in North Carolina.
Thanks
