Fabulous 4th of July Bike Tour - JULY 1st 2023

This ride was one of the original BIG rides in the Southeast back in the day and something many looked forward to as their mid-summer goal. The Greenville Watershed offers a challenging climb but also cool breezes and shade when climbing making it the perfect summer riding location. This ride was held again in 2022 and will be held annually. The Rotary Club of Tryon sees the value in bringing this quality event back to life.

Riders will be treated to 5 fully stocked aid stations along the course with friendly volunteers, great course marking, as well as mechanical and SAG support. We will have a meal afterward as well.

Camping is available at Harmon Field where the ride starts. There are 12 spots with water, electricity & bathrooms. $30 per night. To reserve your spot Please email katie@malonecoaching.com

We hope that you will join us for this ride and bring your friends!

For any questions about the course or ride please contact Katie Malone katie@malonecoaching.com or shoot her a text at 864-415-5804.

This is the one and only FAB 4th loop with 68 miles of rolling hills going through the iconic small towns of Tryon, NC, and Landrum, SC. 

**For 2023 we have a NEW and IMPROVED loop that will take you through Columbus, Landrum and beautiful horse country of Tryon. The course change was to increase safety and avoid bad pavement. 

On this ride you climb the Greenville watershed and finish the ride with a descent of the Saluda Grade (4 miles of flying) and a flat all-out sprint to the finish.

Short Loop - 34 Miles

This ride was added after the original loop to allow riders of all abilities to enjoy a challenging course but without the distance and the climbing involved. 

For 2023 we have a NEW and IMPROVED loop that will take you through Columbus, Landrum and beautiful horse country of Tryon. The course change was to increase safety and avoid bad pavement. 

There is still a short "challenge" hill on this course but otherwise, it is a very friendly course for all abilities.
