Oktoberfest Chattanooga Challenge - Oct 13


3/14/18, 9:45 PMThe Tailwind 031418


The OKTOBERFEST CHATTANOOGA CHALLENGE pairs an amazingbike ride with the best beer festival in the Southeast! Choose between a full100-mile century or a 50-mile half-century on the most scenic roads in thetri-state region, including a closed-road climb up LookoutMountain! ChattanoogaChallenge.com. Event organizer Shannon Burke,owner of Velo View Bike Tours, touts the ride as an affordable, scenic rideorganized by locals. It's also an event Burke believes could fill the void leftby the canceled 2018 3-State 3-Mountain Challenge.

"The Oktoberfest Chattanooga Challenge is my answer to the lack of ahometown ride," Burke said in an email to the Times Free Press. "Yes, we'llhave the Hincapie Gran Fondo in May, which I'm sure will be great, but Ifelt that Chattanooga needed a century ride put on by locals at a price pointthat was accessible to a wider audience."

Registration is now open at veloviewbiketours.com/chattanooga-challenge. It includes tickets for two beers and food at Oktoberfest,parking, a T-shirt and a water bottle. The event is $40 for those whoregister before Memorial Day, $50 for those who register betweenMemorial Day and Labor Day and $60 for those who register after LaborDay. Registration closes Oct. 7.

From Joe Nivert: Today I did something I haven’t done before just for kicks... I did a Metric Century (62.3 mi) on two different bikes ... 33 mi on theCBC Riverwalk Ride on my Dahon folding bike and then did 29.3 mi in theRed Bank area on my Bacchetta recumbent.

Tuesday, on the N GA Lite ride, we planned to take a picture in front of theprison sign.
