Covington to Dyersburg, TN -- 43 miles

Today was a short ride to Dyersburg. We rode past many small country towns like Henning, Ripley, and Halls. Many stopped in Henning to visit the Alex Haley House Museum. I had mixed feelings about stopping or going on only to get into Dyersburg before it gets too hot to ride.

Memphis to Covington, TN -- 63 miles
The scenery is definitely beginning to change. The roads are full of curves and hills, a couple of 10 to 12% grade ones and lots of trees.

I saw one sign that I thought needed to be reworded. Don't you think it is meant for everyone on the road?



Memphis -- Rest day
I thought this would be a rest day and sight-seeing day, but one day isn't enough time to see everything that I wanted to see. I didn't get to Graceland or the Peabody hotel to see the ducks. I did get to the Civil Rights Museum. I highly recommend it to everyone. It is a very moving and emotional place to be.





I apologize for not posting on my blog every day, but the days have been long and by the time I get in I am too tired to write anything. Many days after a ride I sometimes have to find the time to clean my bike or doing laundry. Sometimes, I shower with my bike clothes on to save time.
