Will be in the valley today. Today is the yearly commerative ride for The Trail of Tears. The official start is in Chattanooga. It will follow U.S 72 winding down the valley parallelling the Tennessee River. It will end in Florence, and the rally point and Pow Wow is at MacFarland Park. It's for a good cause, but traffic will be near impossible on 72 most of the day, and literally impossible when the bulk of the riders pass through each town. The will have police escorts blocking traffic for them along the way. 72 is the main artery through the valley, from Chattanooga, down through the valley in North Alabama and on to Memphis. This ride is also a specatator sport. People who live along the hiway outside of the towns will setup lawn chairs and shade canopies in their front yards along the way and simply enjoy the day and watch the cycles and the people.

I have a soccer game today in Florence. Luckily, I know the back roads.

May all the rider stay safe !!!
