Ride Summary: Wednesdays are car-free at Cades Cove and we’re gonna take advantage by hosting a chill moonlight ride! Meet at Cades Cove at 8:45pm with wheels down by 9:00pm. After a nice, leisurely roll around the park we’ll end with some bevvies — hot and cold — and grillables. Bring Lights.
Don’t forget to get your parking tag.
Challenge Level: Party Pace
Distance/Elevation: 11mi/725ft
Average Pace: 8-10 mph
Link to Route: Ride with GPS
Appropriate Bike: Any bike is proper working order. There are some hills so gears would be nice. The route is paved but we may take a few short off-road side quests, so chubby tires are a plus.
Rider Expectations:
Riders are responsible for their own transportation to and from Cades Cove. We may be able to shuttle a few bikes in the shop van but don’t count on it.
We will be riding in the dark. BRING GOOD, BRIGHT LIGHTS!
Temperatures may vary so dress in layers.
We’ll bring some drinks/food for apres-ride enjoyment, but feel free to bring anything else you may want to grill or imbibe.
This is a night-time ride, so expect to get home late.
Tool kits encouraged. Helmets required
