If you're a novice who has tired of the same old close-to-home routes but may not want to head out alone into new territory, this fully supported tour with support vehicle and ride-along guide is for you. Still not sure? We have e-bikes!

This loop ranks among the favorite routes for local cyclists--and for good reason:

It's remote with little traffic.

It's generally flat to lightly rolling with just two notable hills but nothing long or steep.

And the scenery will keep us stopping again and again for photos--of barns, farms, old churches and the ever-present Lookout Mountain on the ride south and Pigeon Mountain on the ride back north.

We'll stop along the way at the Mountain Cove Store at scenic Mountain Cove Farm, where we'll have snacks and time to look forward to the rest of our ride.

Itinerary

We'll meet at Camp New Dawn, have a bike-check and orientation, and make a short jaunt over to visit and scratch the ears of the goats at Everett Farm, in the same family for more than a century. We'll then cover 22 miles on a total of three roads! We'll head south on West Cove Road until we reach the wonderfully named Hog Jowl Road and ride through a canopy of century-old trees to the county store for a snack. We'll then backtrack a mile on Hog Jowl and continue along rolling countryside and cross a gradual ride back to West Cove Road and our cars.
