Day 7: 9/19/23: Natchez Trace to Home

Mike rode his bicycle from Athens to meet me at the campsite at the Natchez Trace yesterday.  We then ride back to Athens together today.  It was another nice day of riding and it was nice having company on the ride.

Total miles today:  81.2 miles
Total Ascent: 3248 feet

Total miles this trip: 544.8
Total Ascent this trip: 25625 feet

Day 6: 9/18/23: Piney Campground to Natchez Trace

Smooth riding today.  I mostly had a tailwind which made the flat areas I rode in feel as though I was riding an E-bike.  

The sign pictured below was sitting at a residence I rode by today.  I would guess there is no love lost between those 2 neighbors.  

Total miles today: 100.3
Total Ascent:  5016 feet
