Ride Summary: This overnighter starts and ends at North River Campground, with a beautiful route through the Tellico area. We’ll roll out from camp, pass one of the region’s beautiful waterfalls, and make two stops along the way to snorkel and explore the river. We’ll eat dinner at Tellico Beach (an iconic burger shack) before riding back to camp for the night. Expect a mostly paved route with some gravel, steady climbing, and plenty of time built in to enjoy the water, wildlife, and scenery.

Minimum Bike Requirements: Riders should bring a bike in good working order that has been recently serviced. We will not be able to provide safety checks or repairs before or during the ride, so riders should be prepared to be self-sufficient on the route. This ride is mostly paved, but includes gravel sections, and riders should be able to comfortably carry their own overnight snorkel gear. The route starts and ends at the campground, so you will not need to carry camping equiptment.
