TN District Perimeter Ride
September 10-12, 2010

At the District Operations Meeting last November, the idea was brought up that instead of an annual picnic, we hold a perimeter ride around our state. Well, here it is! There are eight states that border Tennessee and the Perimeter Ride will go through all of them. Over 1200 miles and nine states in three days! Chapters and members can ride the entire route or ride a portion of it - it's up to you! Below is a map of the route and the time table for each leg of the route. If changes are made to the times or route, the changes will be posted on this page of the web site. Our thanks go to Tom & Kathy Peck (TN-B) for their hard work and effort in laying out this ride.
