WHAT'S WITH ALL THE BIKES?

Have you wondered why there are so many bikes around lately? You may have seen groups of determined looking bikers coming through Elkmont for the last month.  They are in training for big MS Bike Race,  June 4 - 5.  The Saturday race comes through Elkmont and one of the main stops is at the town hall. 


WHERE AND WHEN:
Welcome to Bike MS: Rocket to the Shoals 2016! We are excited to have you join us for this extraordinary ride. Bike MS: Rocket to the Shoals 2016 is a two day fundraising cycling event, taking you from Athens, AL to Florence, AL. There are 25, 45 and 75 mile route options, all of which are well supported with fully-stocked rest stops every 10-12 miles, a great lunch stop each day and safety provided by medical personnel, HAM radio operators, law enforcement and motorcycle escorts. 

 

The ride begins Saturday morning at Athens-Limestone Hospital Wellness Center Fitness Park. Riders will travel through scenic back roads where they will enjoy NOAH (through and around Elkmont) bike trail, quaint towns, and beautiful scenery. We will end at the Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa where we will enjoy a great post-ride lunch, afternoon tours of the shoals area, and "A Taste of Florence" for our dinner party and awards banquet.
