Day 6 Part 2 Heading to Middle Tennessee

I was too sleepy to finish my posting of Day 6, so here's the rest.

We had just descended from Cumberland Mountain into a gorgeous valley on Sewanee Highway (Hwy 41 N) on the way to Cowan, Tennessee.

Just before Winchester, we pick up Highway 64 which takes us through Fayetteville Tennessee. Located in Southern Middle Tennessee, Fayetteville is a charming community with a number of attractive qualities. It has one of the most beautiful and economically vibrant downtown courthouse squares in Tennessee. This area is certified by the state as an official Main Street District and is anchored by the largest fabric store in the Southeast, SIR'S Fabrics, along with a classic sidewalk theatre featuring the newest movie releases. Just off the square is historic Washington Street and Mulberry Avenue, which feature many historic homes. This is a bustling and charming town, you really should visit it.

I even had the opportunity to capture a self-potrait of us in a storefront just past the movie theatre. Take a look.

Day 6 Our Ride in the Setting Sun, originally uploaded by Gail S.

It's the golden hour just outside of Frankewing, Tennessee, where we have stopped for the night. Our bike and trailer look pretty great after traveling for three days in the rain.

Two things we didn't do because of the strange weather: visit Monteagle Winery and/or Jack Daniels Distillery. Oh well, we have talked about a future bike trip to visit the wineries in Tennessee or maybe the May 16 A Toast to Tennessee Wine Festival.
