Ride Summary: Two Bikes is teaming up with Mahalo Coffee Roasters to kick off our 2024 events schedule with a fab-brew-lous group ride and coffee tasting. To celebrate the partnership, Mahalo will be releasing a special Two Bikes blend and a custom camp mug.
The ride will meet at 9:30am at Partial Coffee & Wine for routine morning caffeination with wheels down at 10am. Then we’ll meander through North Knoxville to the base of Sharp’s Ridge. From there we’ll take the trails (a separate ‘road’ group will take Central/Bruhin) to the north side of Sharp’s where Treetop Coffee Shop will be waiting with their coffee truck! Afterwards we’ll bomb back into town and end at Mahalo Coffee Roasters in Market Square for post-ride coffee and snacks.
The first 25 riders will receive a bag of Mahalo x Two Bikes blend coffee and a limited edition camp mug.
