Welcome to BikeForums. I live in south-coastal Delaware and am considering relocating. Southern Tennessee is one of the areas I am interested in. What part of Tennessee do you live in and for how long? I drive a school bus and have 16 days off over Christmas,New year holidays. I am pretty sure I am going to travel to Tennessee to check out some areas. I am getting emails about different areas after requesting info fromt the state. Any info and suggestions are appreciated.

We do have some gravel but I ride mostly rail trails, we have a very nice 10 mile one, I also ride some of the less used back roads and we also have a nice paved green-way type trail. I also like to paved trails in knoxville and oak ridge. The gravel roads in this area super steep.

Just moved to Tennessee
I am in the process of buying a home in west Tennessee Gleason.
I love the countryside; lots of farms and flat terrain.
Unfortunately the road my house is on is Hwy 190 and is a 55 mph road with no shoulder.
Tennessee in general seems to have lots of nice bike routes.
