Tour de Rocky Top

June wraps up with the popular Tour de Rocky Top!  On offer for 2012 is an new 100 mile route to accompany the popular 62, 50 and 30 mile ride options, All routes are fully supported.

We are proud to announce that the 2012 Tour de Rocky Top will benefit the Jeff Roth Cycling Foundation, who's goal is to promote, through advocacy and education, cycling as a safe and healthy form of transportation, and to provide financial assistance to families that have been touched by cycling tragedies.

The Tour starts and ends at Barley's Taproom & Pizzeria in Knoxville's Old City, with scenic rolling routes that head south toward Blount Co.  The new 100 mile route will challenge the strongest riders with an accent of Chilhowee Mountain via Butterfly Gap road. The climb averages nearly 7% for almost 5 miles with pitches aproaching an eye-watering 20% at the top!

The ride finishes with a post race ride party second to none, featuring pizza, beer, and Day 1 of Tour de France viewing at Barley's.
