I have a friend who rode the Natchez Trace and found it delightful. I think you chose well.
La Route Verte is way up on my list. I've been to Quebec (Montreal, Quebec and the Saguenay) and love it every time I go. It's best to know some French, and don't expect to sound anything like it does in France! As much as I love Quebec, the food (outside the cities) is really pretty dreadful, though.

Kathi, these are domestic get aways and are bike friendly.
Mackinaw Island in MI--only allows horse and buggy, bicycles or foot traffic for transportation.
Lopez Island--very cyclist friendly and located in the San Juan islands. We stayed in a B&B on Orcas Island and LOVED it. So very scenic and beautiful.

Glad you're going with WomanTours. I've biked with them twice, and I really like them. Super people!

Love the Mackinaw Island and Lopez Island ideas! I love going to places where cars are a no-no.....Definitely tucking those away for future trips.
Glad, too, to get more confirmation that WomanTours and the Natchez Trace are a great combination. This morning I ordered a short travel/history guide to the Natchez Trace and picked up a collection of short stories by Eudora Welty. The university library here in town has a copy of Welty's "Some Notes on River Country" (I think I've got that right), a long essay about the Natchez Trace and surrounding area. (What can I say? I'm a geek and a historian, so I'll be reading like a fiend before I go!!)

If considering coming to the Northwest and hitting the San Juan Islands, keep this on your idea list: http://www.tulipfestival.org/
Some beautiful views if you hit the timing right, and an organized ride, also. But, sometimes a lot of traffic, especially on weekends.Everyone Deserves a Lifetime

Kathi - you are one of the "funnest" geeks I have ever known! (I threw that word in in case you can use it in a future book!
