Itinerary:

This is not a beginner ride. We will meet at the carpool at 9am, get the bikes situated, then head up to TN. We should arrive at Raccoon around 11am and gear up and start riding. We will stop at an overlook to eat a quick lunch/snack and then continue riding. This is a stacked loop system with excellent views and sweeping singletrack.

You must have some experience in riding technical trails.

After our ride, we will get cleaned up and head into Chattanooga for some grub. (Lots of great restaurants to choose from.) There are very clean bathrooms next to the trail head so bring a change of clothes.

In case of inclement weather, I will post a cancellation.

Please call or email me with any questions.
