3rd Black Bear Bicycle Bash
Townsend, Tennessee. It began with an inaugural event in early spring of last year and drew so many participants that a second one was held last fall, with an even greater turnout. So for the third time in a year, cyclists and spectators will gather at Dancing Bear Lodge in Townsend on March 16th and 17th for another Black Bear Bicycle Bash. The event is expected to once again attract a wide range of riders, from beginners and families to avid racers. There will be scheduled road and trail rides, games, prizes, and demonstrations of equipment and accessories.

Dogwood 100
Winchester, Tennessee
Log on to our website, www.dogwood100.com for more information and registration. A fantastic new course that goes on remote back roads through to Lynchburg and back with the Century riders looping off through Cofee and Bedford counties. Though no climb to Sewanee the course is hilly and challenging (hence the monetary incentive). The course also is incredibly beautiful; it is a good alternative to the old Dogwood course which will be used again (every other year).
