South Knox Bicycle Biathlon
By: metulj  shortURL

What: South Knox Bicycle Biathlon
When: Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 12:00pm
Where: Market Square Start

A mad dash of cycling and shooting. Shoot some pellet guns and shoot some beverages. Make the best of the day and come out. TVB Race sponsoring this even with Down Town Wine and Spirits. 14 miles of South Knox beauty with fun the whole way.

After the race a super awesome keg party next to TVB! $5 bucks to get in and $2 for keg cup. Good beer and cheap beer will be available. Mountains of Moss, WARBAND, and 3 Man Band to rock it out. Procedes go to TVB/Tomato Head Race Team, your downtown Knoxville's bicycle racing team. Come ride and party with us!

Metulj's note: I have see the parcours for the race. There will be great spectating points in South Knoxville going into the second shooting station. I can't say where just yet, but bikes will be going slow up a very steep hill giving ample opportunity for photography, wide-eyed admiration by children, and laughing at other people's pain. :)

Shoot some pellet guns

Is this strictly for the riders or can spectators join in?

Can I assume the riders are not the targets?

Don't give anyone any ideas.

There are shooting stations where a rider has to hit a target or suffer a time penalty of some length. Like the Olympic biathlon, but with bikes.

Anyhow, the South Knox locals tend to throw batteries and beer cans at cyclists.
