Smoky Mountain Bike Week

Sept 28 - October 5th, 2024

Get ready to experience the thrill your motorcycle was built for during Smoky Mountain Bike Week. From the breathtaking views to the heart-pounding turns, this week is packed with routes that will leave you in awe.

Feel the rush of riding the legendary "Tail of the Dragon," boasting 318 curves in just 11 miles. Or cruise along the Cherohala Skyway, often called "The Million Dollar Highway," where every mile rewards you with expansive vistas of the Smoky Mountains. If serene beauty is more your speed, the Foothills Parkway offers a gentler ride through rolling hills and sweeping views.

No matter your style, these mountain highways and river gorges will soothe your soul and ignite your passion for riding. Be sure to check out our custom ride planner, designed to take you on roads less traveled—places you may not have seen, but absolutely need to.

Join us for a week of pure riding bliss in one of the most scenic motorcycling destinations in the country! More Info
