The Great Southern River Ride









Mon., May 9 to Tue., May 17, 2016

The Great Southern River Ride will take cyclists on a terrific 8 day tour through the Grand Old South following the Mississippi River from New Orleans, Louisiana to Memphis, Tennessee.

This tour travels through flat sections of the Mississippi River delta. We�ll cycle out of the big easy, past LSU and Baton Rouge and ultimately into the Louisiana countryside. Fertile farm land abound as we�ll pass many plantations growing cotton, rice, sugarcane, and a few fish hatcheries. Soon we�ll cross into Mississippi.

Mississippi is home to the Delta Blues. You are sure to hear everything from Cajun to Zydeco as we travel across the southern states into Tennessee. Make sure you take a little time as the tour stops in Vicksburg and Natchez to explore the wealth of Civil War history.

Chalk up another state as we cross into Tennessee and work our way right into downtown Memphis. Here, we finish our ride and and you can see all the sights Memphis has to offer. Take a walk along Beal Street and visit Sun Records, tour Mud Island and Graceland. Then dine on real southern BBQ. There is something for everyone in Memphis.
