Where are the real goods near Memphis?

[John G]

I've gotta go down to TN for some "business" and will need to decompress with some good riding. So
where do the locals keep "the good stuff" (tight, twisty, technical, rooty, rocky, rustic,
nut-busting singletrack) hidden?

Try Stanky Creek. It is at the corner of Yale Road and Bartlett Blvd. Take the Sycamore View exit
off of I-40 west and go left for about 5 miles until you see Yale road. Take a left at the light and
go to the four way stop. Go throuh the four way stop and you will see the parking lot on your right.
It is the best Memphis has to offer. Don't expect any hills down here, everything is flat.

Is this AKA Bartlett Park? A few blocks (1/2 mile South of Quail Ridge Golf Couse?

Just fine by me... I'll bring the SS geared 32:17 instead of 32:18

> everything is flat.

Except for the women

No. Stanky Creek is bikeing, hiking and **** like that. Bartlett park is up the street on Yale.
Stanky is a single track bike trail.

No, if you look on a map such as Yahoo! maps and search for "Yale Rd. at Bartlett Blvd." for
Bartlett, TN, you will see that Stanky Creek Trails is labelled as "Bartlett Park"... Just east of
there the park is Yale Rd. Park. Just south on Bartlett Blvd. you come to Freeman Park or (on yahoo
maps) "Bartlett City Park".. could be confusing.

There are no sign at the parking lot identifying the trail as Stanky Creek or Barlett Park. The
only thing there is a bulletin board that Mid South Trails put up with bikeing info and maps of
Stanky Creek.
