Arrive in Nashville the night before the ride to experience a club crawl down Broadway for great music and food. Remember, you’re riding in the morning. Across the street from Ernest Tubbs Record shop is Rays BBQ, which is excellent by any standard.
September riding should be comfortable most of the time with some cold days. Come prepared with both leathers and T-shirts.
