TOWNSEND BIKE BASH - APRIL 25th @ 9AM

Back by Popular Demand --The Dancing Bear Bike Bash has been re-named the Townsend Bike Bash to reflect the growing popularity of biking in our beautiful mountain area. Dancing Bear remains the presenting sponsor along with Cycology Bike Shop  plus there are three new supporting sponsors who have joined including Dogwood Cabins, Big Meadows Campground, and Apple Valley Country Stores in Townsend. The ride is benefitting the Townsend Walland Business Association. A portion of each registration will go to support more Biking and more events in Townsend, TN on the Peaceful Side of the Smokies! 

Each registration includes your choice of a 30 mile or 50 mile fully supported ride with turn by turn directions. There will be two rest stops and a lead and a "sweep" rider. Each registrant will receive a free tee shirt (please let us know your size) and a complimentary catered lunch at the completion of the ride. Because the new Dancing Bear restaurant is still under construction, the lunch will be catered out of the Apple Valley cafe and will be served on the lawn in the grounds at the base of US 321 between Apple Valley and Dancing Bear.
