Two years ago today, I was pulling my miserable self into the trailhead in Hattiesburg, Mississippi at the end of the Longleaf Trace. It was a gorgeous weekend; mid to upper 70s and a fabulous ride. We stayed at the bunkhouse at Circle K Stables mid trail and spread the gentle ride over a day and a half. On the last day of the 3 day weekend Stanley, Evans and myself came back via Vicksburg and rode in the National Military Park. It was unbelievably hard, Stanley and I ditched Evans after 3 miles and went downtown to historic Vicksburg to eat and shop. We had great shrimp and grits at a roundtable restaurant and strolled the historic shops. Evans trouped through several more hours of the grueling ride through the trench hills in the battlefield.
Longleaf Trace is a rail to trail project from Prentiss to Hattiesburg and is an easy ride for anyone to enjoy. Okay, ladies... we gotta climb back on the bikes and go ride somewhere. I need the change of scenery. Game?
