I'm going to look into it once I get settled in our house and have a routine.  Haven't heard much about it yet.

I signed up via Active.com the other day.  I think there is a social scheduled on the website for April 18th at Edwin or Percy Warner.  There is a "Friends of Percy Warner" 50 mile bike ride that day, so I wasn't sure if this is the same event.

Amber, welcome! The race scene here is probably not as abundant as Austin, but it's decent! What I love the most about this area is the cycling...lots of hilly, quiet country roads!
The local tri shop is called ACME and it is located in Goodlettsville, right off of I-65 to the north of Nashville. There are Masters groups all over town, and there are two main triathlon clubs that I know of, Nashville Triathlon Club and Hendersonville Endurance Athletic Team. There are also a ton of bike shops to choose from. The biggest triathlon in Nashville is probably Music City, which is an Olympic distance race that is moving to downtown Nashville this year (July). Will you be here by then?

Subject: RE: Nashville Triathlon Club (GNAC)
I do not know anything about GNAC, although i would suspect they are larger than HEAT. HEAT is VERY active but it's all up here in the Hendersonville area and it's mostly middle aged married people (H-ville is a suburb of Nashville). If that describes you, then you will probably love it! I haven't met a lot of them but all the ones I have met are very nice and extremely welcoming.

Every time I check their page, the Events page is blank.  The forums are member only, so I can't see how active they are.  Considering joining with my wife, but don't want to spend the money to find nothing happening. 
Are there any training groups available?

Thanks.

Not to derail the thread, but for those moving to the Nashville area, if you are seeking a good Realtor that is what I do for a living.

Now back to the discussion.

Is it worth joining GNAC?
I saw more Memphis Clubs at Music City Tri than GNAC shirts.
Is it a functioning organization? Website seems lacking in information or updates. Memphis Thunder has a great site....

Any input is apprecieated.

They have moved most of their communications and info to IMAthlete.com.  Check us out over there.  Our new uniforms aren't in yet.

Does the Nashville Tri Club have any regularly scheduled activities and workouts?  Their website doesn't have any useful information on it, other than how to join. My wife and I have been in town for a little over a month and have really had a hard time finding a group to train with.  Unfortunately we're over in Bellevue, which is just a little too far away from Hendersonville to go over there every day. 

We ride the Natchez Trace a few times a week and have been doing our runs in Percy Warner Park.  Really beautiful!  If anybody ever wants to join us, just let me know!

another good shop is  Endurance Sports and Rec.. Dan, Chrisa and the like are great people!
They have a few clubs they sponsor as well, so they could probably point you in a direction if need be.

Relatively new to the area. I notice the GNAC is now NTC and the site looks a little updated. Is this a very active group? Living in Mount Juliet area. Looking for some group rides and runs anywhere in Nashville area...

Are you all looking at www.NashvilleTriathlonClub.com? Under the "resources" tab, there are weekly rides at 7AM on Saturdays from Trace bikes (Loveless Cafe Bellevue) and from Acme Multisports in Goodlettsville.  There are Sunday runs at the gates of Percy Warner at 7AM as well.

One of our members is looking for a 1/2 iron training partner in Mt. Juliet, Old Hickory, Donelson or Hermitage area. PM me for her info.

There was OWS at Percy Priest Lake on Fridays after work in the spring and summer. Correct me if I am wrong but I think it was at the Elm Hill marina. Acme Multisports has OWS at Old Hickory Lake in the spring and summers once a week at 5:30 AM. This is the course for the Old Hickory Lake sprint tri; great practice!

It seems like NTC is having social events almost quarterly. I only joined NTC earlier this year and so far we have had a cookout, a Kona party (and run) and a group ride with George Hincape.  Our Christmas party is Dec. 5th.  NTC sponsors the area's only duathlon as well (2/10/2).

Check with some of the bike shops listed above (and there are more in the phone book) for group ride info.  There were/are several century rides this fall; "Leaves of Lincoln" and one up in Clarksville (possibly Susan G. Komen).  Of course, you can find a 5k almost every weekend if you want to.

There is plenty to do in this area and it can be found between the bike shops, www.trifind.com, www.active.com, www.team-magic.com, Nashville Striders running club (www.NashvilleStriders.com) the two tri clubs and running stores such as Fleet Feet in Brentwood and Team Nashville down on West End.

I'm in Franklin, so I'll be glad to do some Saturday rides at Percy Warner.  I've done several 50 milers back there; 4 laps and the boulevard down and back. Fantastic workout, especially in the winter time base phase.  PM me. My running is only around 5 miles since I only do sprints.  There is a full mary back there (the Flying Monkey) on Nov 22nd and NTC will be hosting a water stop. I'll be volunteering that day.

Personally, this year I did the Country Music half mary, 5 local sprints, the duathlon and 1 5k with two more 5ks to go (Habitort in Franklin on Tgiving day and Rudolph run downtown in December). That is enough to keep me busy.

Shout if you have any other questions!

Thanks for the thorough info!  Looking forward to becoming a member.  I went out with a couple of friends on the Natchez yesterday - very hilly and windy but great ride.  I'm pretty sure I saw the NTC group take off from Loveless.  If it was them, looked like a pretty good group of at least 8-10.
