The Smoky Mountain Wheelmen proudly present the 20th Edition of the Cherohala Challenge. This year The Challenge will be held on September 12, 2020. NOTE: This is a NEW date due to Covid-19.
The event offers four distinctive rides that almost anyone can find a ride that will fit their skill level with rides of 35, 53, 62 and 115 miles.
Don’t miss your opportunity to ride the famed Dragon Slayer, the Cherohala Skyway and surrounding region. The 115-mile route is a route that cannot normally be done without the support of an organized ride. We supply SAG Support, Well-Stocked Rest Stops, Short-Wave Radio Support (cell phones do not work on most of the ride) and Private Restrooms.
The Wheelmen are proud of our legacy and want you to come experience one of the Southeast’s premier rides! Start training now to SLAY THE DRAGON!
