Music City: A Ride to Ri'chards Louisana Cafe

I love Cajun food so when ever I get a chance I head down to Richards Cafe in Whites Creek.  It was a sunny Sunday, a great day to get the motorcycles out to go get some lunch.  Such a good day we decide to ride into Nashville for lunch and some well-deserved wind therapy.   You don’t get very many days like this in February so you have to take advantage of them when you can.

Nashville sits in the Cumberland River basin, so from almost any direction there will be a series of winding roads that gets you there.   We decided to stay off the interstate and take the back roads our usual form of road rage.  We first take Highway 76 from Clarksville to Adams where we jump on US Highway 41 that heads to the music city.   When we get to Springfield we take 431 to Whites Creek a crossroads which is now a North Nashville suburb.

On 431 the road is full curves that reinvigorates the soul.  As we drop down into the Nashville Basin the switchbacks have us using all the tread on our tires.   We arrive at our destination Ri‘chards Louisiana  Café for some great Cajun food and some live music.   It is one of the many song writer hang outs in the Music City Area and Nashville is a song writer’s town.  We each get a bowl of Gumbo, Terri has the Shrimp Po’boy and I have the blackened Red Fish.  It was a great lunch, all while listening to some good music.

Well all good things must come to an end, so we pay up and make the short trek back to Clarksville.  This puts another 50 miles under our belt.  We cannot wait for more of these days.  It won’t be long now.  Spring is on its way it can’t be stopped and our motorcycles will be there to enjoy it.
