Bike TN adds 37 new routes

Cyclists can now experience 37 newly currated gravel cycling routes as part of the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development (TDTD)’s  Bike Tennessee program. The routes bring the total number of routes to 89 and add more than 1,000 miles of diverse terrain. In addition to creating even more opportunities for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts to explore the state on two wheels, TDTD said the state now has 1,800 miles of cycling trails across 50 counties. The state has also developed the Ride with GPS app in collaboration with cycling guide Shannon Burke of Tennessee Gravel to help riders access routes. Bike Tennessee’s recent growth aligns with Tennessee’s thriving outdoor economy, which generated $15.6 billion in 2024 and ranks No. 4 in the Southeast, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
