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
