Running the throughout the Volunteer State from September 13 – 19, the 2009 Bicycle Ride Across Tennessee (BRAT) begins in West Tennessee at Paris Landing State Park. Check-in begins after 1:00 p.m. on the 12th. The terrain on this year’s route will vary greatly each day. There will be hills, river valleys and even some flat terrain. This year’s BRAT will be less Mountainous than the past years.  Expect beautiful rural Tennessee scenery and back roads, a promise the BRAT keeps every year!
