Yup, but it's a lot more fun doing it solo or with a small group of
responsible riders--instead of "critical massy" punks. I usually pass
through when I'm headed out on a 40 miler on my "old man" style fixed
gear (with brakes so I can actually ride over 20mph).
Been doing bits of the latest Tour de Nash as part of my training
ride. It's really sweet. You can check it out if ya google it. I
usually come from the east side, through town, Church street,
Centennial, Long, then snake through the hood to get to Murphy, then
the far end of the greenway by the golf course...to Belle Meade,
Warner, Tyne, Radnor, Traveler's Rest, Tyne again, Belmont Terrace,
then back into town creatively ...
