Welcome
Join us as we tour six counties of scenic Middle Tennessee and visit historic Lynchburg, TN. This ride has something for everyone - beautiful scenery, great food and lots of fun. Folks from 7 to 70 years young find this ride one they make sure to attend.
New for 2012 are revised routes for everyone. We've swapped some hills around and made the 100 mile route a "little" easier and faster. We've listened to you and will have more variety at food stops too. So come on out and enjoy what's sure to be one of the finest bicycling events you'll participate in for the year.
History
The Highland Rim Bike Club was organized in 1974 and in September of that year conducted the first edition of the Elk River Valley 100.
The route has always been in the vicinity of the Elk River, hence the name. The first version of the ride had no appreciable climbing. Constructive criticism caused us to add considerable climbing challenges around the Cumberland Plateau.
Our emphasis remains in sponsoring a well-supported, low-key, and enjoyable event for riders of all abilities.
