Our Team
Cycle Sequatchie is a joint production of Velo View Bike Tours and the Chattanooga Bicycle Club that combines a beautiful, fun, first-class bike ride with a celebration of everything that makes Sequatchie Valley and the South Cumberland Plateau such a special place! Our goals:
- Bring attention to all of the fun options for outdoor recreation (cycling & so much more!) in Sequatchie Valley and the South Cumberland Plateau.
- Provide exposure and opportunities to support regional conservation initiatives and family farms through the Outdoor Expo.
- Raise funds to support conservation efforts in the region through the Land Trust for Tennessee.
There are many ways to support the cause: providing financial sponsorship for various elements of the event, donating prizes for our K.O.M. winners, or giving your time to volunteer during the event. This is a grassroots, community-driven event and we welcome any and all creative ideas for involvement! Contact us and let us know what you have in mind! (We've included some sponsorship suggestions on our Contact Form.) In exchange for your support, we'll provide you with plenty of exposure at the event, on our website, and through social media and other channels.
Thank you to all of our partners and sponsors for teaming up to make this event possible!

THE A-TEAM MASSAGE
With experience working athletic events of all kinds (including top-level Ironman competitions), this gifted group of licensed massage therapists brings their A-game to every event they work, and we couldn't be more excited to have them on hand to apply their magic touch to our participants - and spectators too!
Brew Market & Beer Garden
Not only will our friends at the Brew Market & Beer Garden be serving our favorite beers from Hutton & Smith, Heaven & Ale and Oddstory at the post-ride lunch, but they will also offer a couple of custom brews made just for our event!

Sequatchie Cove Farm
A leader in both all-natural sustainable farming practices and in conservation in the region, Sequatchie Cove Farm provides high quality meats, produce and cheeses, and we couldn't be happier to have their help in showing off how good the Valley tastes! Get a first-hand look at how the farm operates and have a carefully prepared lunch there on the grounds by signing up for the Sunday tour when you register for the ride!
The Cookie Jar Cafe
Good Southern comfort food and fantastic desserts have made the Cookie Jar Cafe one of our favorite places to refuel after riding in the Valley. So when we put this ride together, we knew the Cookie Jar Cafe would have to be part of the post-ride meal. One bite of the coconut cream pie and you'll know why!
Wheeler's Orchard & Vineyard
The Wheeler family has been sustainably operating their orchard and vineyard for over 40 years, and we are proud to showcase their top-shelf fresh-squeezed cider at our farmers' feast! Located just up on the road on the Cumberland Plateau, the orchard is definitely worth a visit!
