No Cars In Cade's Cove rides
Two Options:
Meet Rich O'Connor, Kelly Heiskel and Tim Foust at Coulter Bridge for a 8:00 AM road ride rollout. This route goes to Townsend, up to Cade's Cove, around loop and back for 55 miles. If you want shorter ride, meet them from greenway parking areas along the greenway in Townsend. For reference, it is around 10 miles from Coulter Bridge to Townsend. Some may skip riding the loop this week.
Gravel ride from first paved parking lot on left as you enter Townsend for a 9:00 AM rollout towards Rich Mountain trailhead where pavement turns to gravel. I will be at trailhead (Parking pass required) parking lot at around 9:30 AM to join group and ride over mountain to Cade's Cove, around loop, maybe Forge Road then back over Rich Mountain.
Watch for updates if weather changes.
