I rode it end to end last October, starting in Nashville. I was surprised how pitchy it was the last section going into Natchez. I was expecting it to be pretty flat but there was more slope than I’d anticipated. We were trying to finish before the hurricane came in so I had to ride 160 miles the last day. Maybe that’s why it felt hillier**********

Regardless it was a great 4 days.
