In the heart of the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains about an hour east of Chattanooga, Tennessee, lies the tiny community of RELIANCE. Perched on the banks of the Hiwassee River, Reliance serves as a gateway to hundreds of miles of incredibly scenic gravel roads in the Cherokee National Forest, and we're excited to showcase this outdoor mecca with a weekend of gravel grinding fun April 27-28, 2024! Registration for the event is capped at 200 riders.
Plus a Coolest Bike Contest based on our completely subjective judgment...
... and a Best Tan Line Contest for those putting in the early season miles!
What to Expect: Amazing Scenery, Grassroots Camaraderie, Good Food & Tasty Beer!
What NOT to Expect: Flat Roads, Easy Routes, Champagne Gravel
