Group Rides & Course Routes
15 Mile Bike Route
Mostly in Battlefield, with a small piece out to the white church and back. This matches the 30 mile route, until after the church, so more can ride together.

30 Mile Bike Route
Includes the Battlefield loop, the jump out to the church, and then adds on Old Bethel and Glassmill Roads, back through downtown Chickamauga and back into the Battlefield. This first part of the route matches the 15 mile route, until after the church, so more can ride together.

Fluids and Nutrition
You will need to supply your own fluids and nutrition.
Bathroom Access
All three pass Wilder Tower for bathroom access. The 65 mile route has a gas station or two along the way. The 30 and 65 mile go through downtown Chickamauga.
Team Work!
We will do our best to group people together at different speeds, but you will need to chat amongst each other to determine who is doing which routes. Please note that we may not be perfect on the first few bike starts, so please bear with us as we get better!
Volunteer
If you have any interest in volunteering to be a leader on a route for the 18th, please message Kelly Williams.
Waivers
When you arrive at either the Battlefield to ride or the Blue Goose to run - you will need to find the Clip Board with the Waivers and sign one! Everyone running and biking must sign a waiver.
Other Chattanooga Cycling
Some of the best cycling in the country can be found Chattanooga and the surrounding areas. Chattanooga is a terrific cycling town. We’re also home to the American Bicycle Group – makers of QR and Litespeed bikes (and a super-supportive sponsor of our club).
If you are new to the area, check out RideWithGPS, where many club members and avid cyclists have posted some of their favorite routes. You can find literally hundreds of bike routes, with distances ranging from 10 to over 100 miles.
We have listed a handful of our favorite rides here, to give you an idea of why this is such a great place to ride. Our club doesn’t necessarily endorse specific rides on the list below. You must always ride at your own risk and take appropriate safety precautions.
