Tenneessee Riverpark & Chattanooga Exploring

The Riverpark follows the Tennessee River to downtown Chattanooga. It is a paved multiuse trail like the Silver Comet, Big Creek Greenway, and Arabia Mountain. There are some side trails so the total distance could be a mile or two longer. About half of the trail runs directly beside the Tennessee River and is a very scenic ride. We will start with a dramatic view at the base of the Chickamauga Dam as we unload our bikes. At the midpoint, we will cross the river on the Walnut Street Bridge (one of the largest pedestrian only bridges in the world) and explore the hip North Shore Chattanooga area (refreshments, more river views, and an optional carousel ride). We'll also explore the Bluff View Art District located at the south side of the Bridge. Click above for Riverpark info and a route map. NOTE: The Riverpark is very popular and we'll likely be sharing the trail with walkers, joggers, and baby strollers.

While the total event duration is 8 hours, the total ride time will be much less. This will give us plenty time to explore the North Shore area and Bluff View Arts District. Depending on our preferences, the total event time may be shorter.

**PLEASE NOTE**
You are responsible for your bike maintenance and/or repairs on the trail. Also, please consider safety precautions and bring a bike Helmet.

**ALSO PLEASE NOTE**

We are interested in bumping up the group size but need people to who have bike racks to volunteer and transport bikes. Please respond yes to the carpool question if you can help out.
