Our bike ride coincides with Thrive Sequatchie's OKTOBERFEST at the same park as the ride both Friday and Saturday, October 2nd & 3rd, with live music, beer & brats, plus plenty of vendors. So kick off the weekend early with Friday afternoon sprints followed by Oktoberfest, and then stick around after the ride for more Oktoberfest fun Saturday afternoon and into the evening!

We'll have free coffee available before the ride on Saturday near packet pickup thanks to our friends at Game Shack Café!

Our home base for the event is at the city park located at 209 Cedar Street in downtown Dunlap.

​

All routes begin & end at this location, and the lunch buffet and Oktoberfest will be held there.

E-Bikes are allowed at Cycle Sequatchie but please watch your speed and be respectful of cyclists who may be going much slower than you. Also, if you plan to use your e-bike to go up the climbs on the 3 Mtn Challenge, you will still need to be prepared for bumpy & twisting descents. Do not attempt the climbs on an e-bike unless you are confident that you can handle the challenging & treacherous descents on a bike that will be much heavier than a regular bike.

The base routes (15, 35, 50 & 80 miles) will be marked with both directional signs and green arrows painted on the pavement. All routes head out of Dunlap the same direction as the 80-miler and return to Dunlap the same direction as the 80-miler. The only difference between the routes is when they split off of the 80-mile route and loop back. The places where the 15, 35 and 50-mile routes split off will be clearly marked with signs and painted asphalt.

​​​

The three optional climbs (out & back spurs off of the base routes) will be marked with both directional signs and orange arrows painted on the pavement.

Have non-cycling friends or family interested in being a part of the action without riding a bike? We have plenty of fun volunteer opportunities (with benefits!) and would be happy to plug them in. Click here for more info!
