Doug, I am in Nashville and would love to meet up for a ride this summer. I don't get out for long rides much, but I hear there are a lot of rides in the Franklin, Leiper's Fork, Santa Fe (pron. Santa Fee!), Fly and other towns in Williamson and Hickman Counties. Up here in Davidson county (where Nashville is) we have two wonderful parks, Edwin Warner and Percy Warner that are adjacent and have over 20 miles of barely trafficked roads in them. They just installed some single track at Percy Warner, if you are interested in that.
In Williamson Co (Franklin's county) roads like Old Hillsboro (not to be confused with Hillsboro Pike which has a bike lane, but is not enjoyable for biking), Route 96, Sneed and Moran roads are worth linking up for scenic routes through some "real" farms and some estates of country music stars. As others have mentioned, the Natchez Trace has hundreds of miles or parkway for scenic riding. The speed limit is 50 which keeps most long distance travelers with their pedal to the metal off onto the interstates. I am going to do a dirt road ride in a few weeks in Hickman county and will report back on the route for you. Email me at dweendaddy at hotmail if you want to link up this summer.
