Cherohala Challenge is cancelled due to the Hwy 129 Closure
Cherohala fans,
We’re sad to report that we are canceling the Cherohala Challenge. A major rockslide on Hwy 129 (The Dragon) will keep the road closed through the end of June. We considered alternate routes but were unable to find one we considered safe and challenging.
We also felt that the Dragon closure will put too much additional vehicular traffic on the Skyway for an out and back route.
The Cherohala Challenge will return in 2011 so check the website www.smwbike.org for details. You should also consider the Fall Century on October 9th, 2010. This will be your opportunity to ride with World Champion and Olympic cyclist Kent Bostick. Kent ranks the SMW Fall Century as one of his favorite events because of the great scenery and rolling terrain of East Tennessee. Registration will be available at www.edgereg.com on Monday August 2nd, 2010.
If you registered for the Cherohala through www.edgereg.com you will receive a full refund to your credit card in the next few weeks. Sorry for any inconvenience and we hope you’ll join us next year.
Thanks,
SMW Bike Club Officers |
