Touring Tuesday - Mammoth Cave

Bob Kissinger arriving at Mammoth Cave

The Adventure Cycling Association is well known for its trail network, especially the ones crossing America. One of these is their TransAmerica Trail. Section 10 of this trail goes from Murphysboro, Illinois to Berea, Kentucky with an optional two day loop to Mammoth Cave. Bob Kissinger took an overnight weekend trip on this loop to Mammoth Cave, and tells about it on the Bicycle Overnights website. He rode the loop in April, when the temperatures were moderate and the redbuds & dogwoods were in bloom.

There are several mountain biking trails within Mammoth Cave National Park. Below is a video that shows mountain biking on Big Hollow Trail.
