SUMMARY:Highlander Rail Trail Preview Ride
DESCRIPTION:The Echoes group is organizing a ~30 mile group ride along the TN Highlander railbanked corridor on Sunday\, May 24th at 1 pm.\n\n \nThis ride will not be on the rail bed\, but instead will be adjacent to the corridor on portions of New River Hwy\, Straight Fork Rd\, and Norma Rd. The ride will be a recreational pace\, no-drop ride and expected to be approximately 30 miles (best suitable for gravel bikes\, mountain bikes\, or e-bikes). Much of Straight Fork Rd is gravel and not suitable for a pure road bike. We will take many opportunities to view the rail corridor and visit some of the notable features. Unfortunately the rail corridor is still the rail ballast and is quite rough for bike traffic. The selected route parallels the corridor and is very close (within feet) for most of its route. Here is a similar route for comparison.\n\n \nMeet at: Ligias Fork Cabins – 5901 New River Hwy\, Briceville TN\n\n \nPlease email Doug Ferguson (hdferguson3@echoesoftnrail.org) if you have any questions or plan to join for the ride.\n \n\nSome other news about the Highlander Rail Trail:\n\n \nThe rail corridor has been railbanked!!! The agreement between RJ Corman\, the Trust for Public Lands\, and the National Surface Transportation Board to operate an interim trail was reached at the end of April. This was the first big step towards securing the future of the rail trail.\n\n \nOur efforts now turn towards fundraising. Our goal is to raise the purchase price of the corridor so that we may officially transfer ownership by early 2027. If you would like to take a larger role in fundraising please contact us at: john.mccracken@echoesoftnrail.org or virginia.bruce@echoesoftnrail.org
