Cycle of Life Adventures has been leading fully supported, all-inclusive bicycle trips on the Natchez Trace Parkway since 2012.
- We do the full length of the Trace (442 miles) either in both directions, twice in the Spring and twice in the Fall.
- Group size is limited to 12 guests.
- We visit the best available accommodations and restaurants. Merriwether's Retreat B&B, Hampton Inns in Bellevue, TN, and Florence, AL, French Camp B&B, fine dining in Ridgeland, MS and Isabella B&B and Collina Plantation Inn both in Port Gibson, MS.
Biking the Natchez Trace is a cyclists’ dream come true. It is truly the best bicycle riding surface in the US!
- The roads are in fabulous condition and only the northern end has any hills to speak of. There are no commercial vehicles, so no buses or trucks.
- The scenery is natural, so there are no billboards, stop signs or stop lights. Distances are modest and although there are a few days where the mileage may seem overwhelming, the support van is always there to provide a lift.
- The road is well marked with 442 roadside mileage markers making it almost impossible to get lost.
- E-bike Friendly, We accept tandems and recumbent bikes.
