ABOUT THE RIDE

Come experience our scenic low volume roads that showcase the upper Cumberland and Cumberland plateau region. With a party at the end sponsored by local craft brewing companies. Live music and hand crafted BBQ post ride.

4 routes to choose from: 9 mile, 36 mile,  62  mile and 100 mile.

9-Mile Route:

The 9 mile family fun ride takes riders along the Tennessee Central Trail from downtown Cookeville through the heart of Tennessee Tech’s campus, out to Algood and back.

36-Mile Route:

The 36 mile route is a go-to for local riders.  This route is beautiful and challenging with 1 mountain climb.  Riders are rewarded after the climb with a long decent bringing you back into Algood and Cookeville, where the BBQ, beer and music awaits.  Total elevations gain is 1,800ft.

62-Mile Route:

The metric is a new route this year.  Riders will visit historic Granville and Gainesboro, while riding along Cordell Hull Lake and the Cumberland River.  With 3 climbs and a few rollers in between, your legs will be glad to see the finish line and the beer and BBQ.  Total elevation gain 3,700ft.

100-Mile Route:

The Century is a new route and distance for The Ride To The Sky.  Riders will enjoy a tour of the Upper Cumberland, venturing through Putnam, Jackson and Overton Counties.  Along the way riders will visit historic Granville and Gainesboro, while riding alongside  Cordell Hull Lake and the Cumberland River.  With 4 climbs and many rollers in between, you’ll be glad to see the finish line and the post ride party.  Total Elevation gain 6,400ft.
