5:00 – 9:00 PM: Riders arrive at church host in Nashville

If you would like to drive to Nashville and leave a car at our church host, you are welcome to do so. The Bike Adventure arranges transportation from Natchez back to Nashville on the Sunday departure day, and your Trip Leader will be in touch with how you can reserve a spot on that shuttle.

For folks taking other forms of transportation to the ride’s start, the ride’s support vehicle will be shuttling people from transportation hubs to the church in Nashville on Friday night. 

Dinner is not provided this evening, but there are plenty of local restaurants to choose from!

DEPARTURE DAY

The Bike Adventure arranges transportation from Natchez back to Nashville on the Saturday departure day of the ride. Many folks choose to drive to the start, leaving their cars at our Nashville church for the week. If this is how you choose to get to and from the ride, we will bring you back to your car on Saturday. 

After we load the bikes on Saturday morning, we are currently estimating the following schedule for the day. We recommend that those flying book departure flights from Jackson, MS if possible to reduce the chances that any complications during the long drive will cause interruptions in their travel plans, but we also are able to drop off in Nashville. 

Many years we have also been able to arrange a church stay in Nashville on Saturday night at the end of the ride.  Contact bike@fullercenter.org if you’d like to discuss this possibility.

Estimated Schedule:

6:00am – Begin loading bikes, have breakfast, and clean church

8:30am – Depart

9:00am – Jackson, MS airport arrival (book flights for 11am or later)

5:00pm – Nashville arrival (book flights for 7:00pm or later)

You can also consider carpooling with another rider(s), which you can coordinate through our riders Facebook group. Feel free to email any additional questions to bike@fullercenter.org.
