Saturday Group rides - Choose 1 of 2 rides!

 

The Technical Ride aka The Snake! - This ride is 45 miles mountainous, curvy,

technical and suitable for 150cc+ AND seasoned solo riders only please.

 

or

 

The Chill Ride (which leaves later)  - This ride is designed to be everything the technical ride is NOT. Shorter (24 miles 1 hour ride), relaxing, ‘picturesque’. Local sites include South Holston Dam, Michael Waltrip mural, and a photo op at the Bristol slogan sign. Chill ride is great for 2-up, 125cc, or just folks who stayed out too late the night before.

 

Either way, both rides rendezvous at the marina, so bring a swimsuit and towel if you want to dip into the lake and cool-off!

After re-group, the ride then winds through 20 miles of the Cherokee National Forest - a delightful and twisty ride through the rolling terrain of the Appalachian Mountain range. We arrive at the Broken Ski Grill around 1pm in time for lunch and a beverage (and SWIMMING!). Google Map route available here
