C'VILLE BIKE Clarksville, Tennessee's first Motorcycle Event Magazine

FOREWORD
Early in 2014, I started out sending an email containing a paragraph or so to 15 of my friends as a reminder of the motorcycle event opportunities that were out there. There were always things that we were missing that we wanted to support: rides, charities, and events that we didn't hear about until it was over. As my email distribution list grew to over 100, I stopped emailing and began a newsletter on the internet. A year later, it has developed into a magazine. My goal is to print and distribute once per month in hard copy. Weekly on the internet. Remember: Sometimes locations and times change due to conflicts, weather, and I also have have been misinformed and made mistakes so before you take those vacation days, verify the event yourself.

Place to Visit Wickham Stone Park. The once beautiful park of concrete statues. Definately a thing to see. It is a beautiful area. Go online, check out the Wickham Stone Park and what it once was. Then go there. I think it is awesome. In the photos below, one was taken around 1970 where I took the latest one just a few weeks ago. The statues are grouped in two searate clusters. The first group is located on Oak Ridge Road. They are behind a fence in a field right next to the road. If you continue down Oak Ridge road and turn right on Buck Smith Rd, you will encounter the other statues. They are standing beside the road about a mile on the right.
