Memphis: Riding and other things?

I live in Midtown Memphis, and there's some good info already posted in the thread. The city has gotten MUCH better over the last 10 years, not only in cycling terms but overall.

What part of town are you staying in?

Hightailers is a great recommendation by Jason. They're our main cycling advocacy group here.

There are great routes using the Greenline, Shelby Farms, Shady Grove and Wolf River Parkway. For family outdoor stuff, Shelly Farms is going to be your home base. That's where the most MTB trails are, plus Hyde Lake for kayaking/paddle board rentals.

Hit me up anytime for any specifics or route planning ideas.

There are also 2 great climbing gyms, Memphis Rox (in midtown) and Highpoint Climbing (near Shelly Farms). The Zoo here is pretty good IMO, along with the whole Overton Park area (in midtown). Good food in Overton Square, Cooper Young and Crosstown.
