Women’s E-Bike and SUP Tour in Chattanooga
Overview
Spark that light back in your soul and let your inner child out. Remember that freeing feeling you felt while riding your bike back in the day? Remember the first time you threw your hands up in the air and yelled, “Look! No hands!” Be that carefree again. Join us as we immerse ourselves in the heart of Downtown Chattanooga on this E-Bike Pedal & Paddle SUP Mini Adventure.
E-Bike tour through Downtown Chattanooga
Never ridden an Electric Bike before? No worries! First, we will start our day with a tutorial on how to operate electric bicycles.🚲 After being fitted for the proper bike and all geared up we will hit the road for an Adventure. Next, we will be riding to some of the spots that the locals love. We will ride across the iconic Walnut Street Bridge. Followed by a ride through the Bluff View Art District. Lastly, finishing up our 7-mile ride along the Tennessee Riverwalk to Chickamauga Dam. After all this riding, you will for sure work up an appetite! We will sit and hang out as a group as we enjoy our packed lunches together before hopping on our SUP boards and hitting the water.
SUP the Tennessee River
Once our bellies are all full again, it is time to embark on a 5-mile downriver paddle on the Tennessee River. First, we will start with basic paddleboard instruction and be properly fitted for our boards. Then we will take off downriver as we paddle back to Coolidge Park where our adventure began hours earlier. This is a great way to explore all that Downtown Chattanooga has to offer while also taking it all in from new vantage points. It isn’t every day we see the city from both bike and board!
This is rated as Beginner to Intermediate due to the amount of active time: energy exertion of 3+ hours total on your electric bike and SUP.
