Description: Welcome to the Adventure Series where we will try some unique spins on familiar routes, this one is Greenways and Nashville Skyline.  Starting at Kohl's Greenway Trailhead at Jackson Downs the route follows the Stones River Greenway past the "hard to miss" Water Works, Two Rivers Park, over the Cumberland River to Shelby Bottoms Park. Inside the park the route detours for a figure "8" of the Cornelia Fort Airpark. The urban portion of the route is on Davidson St. (with good bike lane) to around Nissan Stadium and over the Woodland St. bridge. Soon after crossing the bridge the route turns north on 3rd Street to connect with the Cumberland River Greenway Metro Center Levee to a stop at the Ted Rhodes GC clubhouse. The route is a reverse with some side trips at Shelby Bottoms eliminated.

The route is very flat except for a couple short challenges. Walkers and runners will be present; however, it should be light on a Tuesday morning.

“After a long day on my bicycle, i feel refreshed. I feel that I have established contact with my environment and that I am at peace. On days like that, I am permeated with a profound gratitude for my bicycle..”
