From the Organizer
Lick Skillet Farm hosts its fifth annual end-of-season fall fundraiser and farm celebration: rides at every level followed by a great party at the farm!
Four totally new scenic back-road routes: 12-, 25-, & 40-mile options, a re-mapped metric century, AND a brand new 75 mile option. The twelve-miler is flat and family-friendly, with extra SAG, perfect for kids or anyone who wants an easy day on great roads. Experienced riders will find both the Metric Century and the 3/4 century to be enjoyably challenging.
The 4 longer rides start at 10am, with the 12 miler starting at 10:05am. Parking, registration, and ride start are at New Market Elementary, 1559 Old A.J. Hwy, New Market, TN 37820. Rider check-in/late registration starts at 8:30am. Post ride food and festivities are a 2 min ride away at nearby Lick Skillet Farm, 805 Lick Skillet Ln, New Market, TN 37820.
Back for 2026--Friday packet pickup (10/9) will be held from 5 to 6:30pm at Quest Health & Performance, 5401 Kingston Pike, #350, in the Bearden area.
As always, the ride is fully supported with clear route markings, well stocked rest stops, and SAG support, and all riders can choose a LONG SLEEVE T-shirt, or if you've got plenty of T shirts, help us out by donating the cost of the shirt to our local elementary school!
After your ride, join the celebration party at Lick Skillet Farm:
· Lunch provided at the farm.
· Cruze Farm will offer a self-serve ice cream bar.
· Alliance Brewing will host a cash beer bar.
· Live music by Radio On.
Proceeds from the event will go to our own New Market Elementary School.
