Must see in TN

Looks like U will be coming in from the west, if U cross into Tn. at Memphis during the middle of the week, Bikes on Beale is Wendsday night. Ride your bike downtown to Beale, park it free on the street and listen to all the free blues, soul, rock, and rockabilly. You'll still be snapping your fingers, and tapping your feet when U get to the rally. Rally may be a little bit of a downer after that, at least the rally will give U a place for some quiet time to relax. :laugh

Excellent! Memphis was going to be one of our "stop overs" and now we know when! Thanks!!!
 
If you just get a state map and look for squiggley roads, you will miss a lot of good riding roads.

what you need is a delorme gazetteer.

I often use google map images (topo and road view) and print those pages out, along with setting my GPS to "shortest route, no highways" and have found a ton of wonderful roads that way all over the eastern seaboard and mountain areas from PA down thru Georgia. Never had a bad ride (road wise) using those two techniques.

Either that or just follow your nose and the sun...... if you're in a rush, take the car! Ha ha!

Historic Rugby, TN

Time stands still at Rugby, Tennessee - the restored Victorian village founded in 1880 by British author and social reformer, Thomas Hughes. It was to be a cooperative, class-free, agricultural community for younger sons of English gentry and others wishing to start life anew in America. At its peak, some 350 people lived in the colony. More than 70 buildings of Victorian design graced the townscape on East Tennessee's beautiful Cumberland Plateau.
This would-be Utopia survives today as both a living community and a fascinating public historic site, unspoiled by modern development. Twenty original buildings still stand at the southern edge of the Big South Fork National Park, surrounded by rugged river gorges.


near Big South Fork National Recreation Area, also not to be missed
