Butterflies For Hope Bike Ride

Kick off the RDE ride season with this Tour of Oak Ridge and Anderson Co. 

Fully supported route options include rolling 62 and 50 mile routes that range over Norris Dam, or the shorter 33 and 23 mile options. Organized in conjunction with Hot Bagel in Oak Ridge and benefiting the fight against Lupus, with a post ride feast (including beer) at Hot Bagel that is usurpassed. 

The low key Butterflies ride is a great way to start the 2018 ride season. As with all RDE rides, all types of bikes and skill level of riders are welcome—this is NOT a bike race! Expected participation--200.

62 & 50 mile routes are rolling loops through Roane and Anderson Counties, ranging north over Norris Dam. Fully supported ride, with two rest stops.

This event benefits the Fight Against Lupus. Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that causes inflammation can damage major organs, such as heart, lungs, kidneys, skin and brain. Ninety percent of those diagnosed with lupus are women between the ages of 15 and 44, but lupus also occurs in children, teens and men. Finding the cause, the cure and new treatments for lupus is a complex and challenging process and we thank you for your support.
