Before The Ride

Join the crowd at Lascassas Elementary School. Enjoy a Free breakfast of Yogurt, OJ and bananas as you check in. Excellent locker room facilities are provided. We'll provide water and sports drink to fill your bottles before you mount up. MOAB will once again be providing Wrench support before the ride. Registration opens at 6:00 A.M.

100; 66 ; 33; and 14 Mile Route promise great riding for all levels of cyclists

This year's route is all new and very exciting. As we return to the original area of the HOT 100 route, you will see some old familiar roads, as well as some new and exciting roads. We hope to see you this year!

Food Stops

The rest stops will be better than ever before. We will be well stocked with home baked goodies, plenty of water and gatoraide, as well as the old standards bananas, grapes, and pb&j's.

After The Ride

After you ride, please check in to receive your T-shirt. Don’t forget to check the board and see if you won a door prize. Check our website often as we update the door prize list. After your shower, join us in the air conditioned Lascassas Elementary School Cafeteria for dinner.

Rider Safety

We care about the safety of our riders! Please follow all laws and rules of the road. Remember that cyclists have the same rights to the same roads as other vehicles and they are subject to the same rules. This includes stopping at stop signs, stoplights etc… Tennessee law requires that you ride no more than two abreast and stay close to the right side of the road. When cars approach from the rear, get in single file. We realize this will not be possible at the beginning of the ride. However, as cyclists space out, this should not be a problem. The HOT 100 route is NOT closed to automobiles. Please bike responsibly.
