Pedal Tavern Booked!!

An exciting development:

We have booked the NASHVILLE PEDAL TAVERN for our first night in Nashville.  Our reservation time is 4:30pm on Saturday, so we'll need to arrive at the starting location by 4:10pm.

What is the Pedal Tavern & How Does it Work?

The Nashville Pedal Tavern is a 16-person bicycle powered party on wheels.  We have heard it is perfect for a bachelorette party!  We've reserved a bike privately for our group to do the Broadway Tour (up to 16 people at a time... so we'll rotate)!  It's a 2.5 hour bicycle bar crawl. It will make 2-3 stops along the route giving us the option to check out the great bars, restaurants and shops that Nashville has to offer. This is a great opportunity to take group photos in various areas of the city.  The tours start and end in 2 different locations. Who knew you could exercise and have a beer at the same time!?  You can check out some photos and videos here:  http://www.nashvillepedaltavern.com/photos-and-video/

We will post more information here as it is finalized!  Be sure to sign up for the Remind101 texts (it's free, your number stays private, and they never mass-text you after your first day signing up).  I use it with my students and their parents all year - and it works great!

Where will we be staying?

We chose our hotel, and are super excited about it... it's new, right in the heart of downtown, and is called the Omni Nashville.  We reserved a block of rooms for all of us.  We will send out more details about pricing/roommates as it gets a little closer.  Here is their website if you want to check it out:  http://www.omnihotels.com/FindAHotel/Nashville.aspx

 

How will we know when there are updates?

There is a new app called "Remind101" that automatically sends texts out to people on a list while maintaining the privacy of cell phone numbers.  We've set up a Remind101 account to let you know when there are updates to the plans or the blog.  To join, just send a text to (586) 782-8980 with the message @nashbash14 and you will be subscribed to the list and get updates via text about the trip!
