We went for a quick ride on the Natchez Trace this morning, along with some neighboring trails & roads.
After 11 miles, we packed it in. The sun bore down on us intensely and early, and life's demands pressed. But it was a pretty fun ride while it lasted.
At least I liked it.
Total wheel-spinning time was 56:34, at an average speed of 11.6 mph. My max speed was 30.9.
I was drenched with sweat.
The trails we hit were a bit more technical than Longleaf, not long enough for my taste, enjoyable all around.
We'll have to try some parts of the Trace farther from the metro area, although our next trip of really meaningful length will probably be Longleaf.
Personally, I'd like to see a long, looping trail around here, rolling through mile after mile of traffic-free scenic juicy goodness. Fortunately, the roads around my place for miles in every direction are great.
