<\/a><\/p>\nWhich was fun, because at 10am on a weekday, there’s almost no one out there.<\/p>\n
I then cut through some sketchy neighborhoods to Overton Park, where I rode on a lot of the trails, though I have no idea which ones, because it’s a relatively small area, they all look the same, and there are next to no markings out there. They’re very suited to a cyclocross bike, though, so it was a good time. (Click HERE<\/a> for an Overton Park map)<\/p>\n I stopped and refilled my bottles, then found my way out to the Vollentine-Evergreen Greenline…<\/p>\n …also deserted at that time of day.<\/p>\n Once I was at the end of that, it was mostly bike lane until I reached Downtown and crossed the bridge to Mud Island, where I rolled around like a tourist and took some photos before crossing back over and riding down Main Street.<\/p>\n We got trolleys and shit.<\/p>\n There’s no way out of the south side of Downtown that isn’t through a ghetto. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a good ride…<\/p>\n I rode back on a slightly southern route through the University of Memphis and up Shady Grove road to the Germantown Greenline. I was hungry by then, so no stopping to take photos.<\/p>\n It looks like there’s going to be some killer cyclocross racing this weekend in Nashville. I plan on making a road trip out of it and race the Keep Calm<\/a> race on Saturday, spend the night in Nashville, then a Bamacross<\/a> race on Sunday. It’ll be a nice break from the Memphis cyclocross frustrations. Also, I’ll get to race the singlespeed CX bike for the first time since I re-built it.<\/p>\n I am excite. Now, it’s time to get out and do some soggy intervals.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This fall, since I’m not vying for a cyclocross world championship, my coach has me taking a different approach to training with long “fun” rides… the first of which was Tuesday this week.
