THATS A WRAP! Crazy George’s Ride to the Sky was an undeniable success, and we have YOU to thank! First off, thank you to the participants who showed up ready to ride and ready to party! Thank you to our volunteers who woke up before the sun and worked hard to keep things running smooth! Thank you to our Friends of the Tennessee Central Trail and Upper Cumberland SORBA folks who ran the aid stations, registration and merch tables, Putnam Co Sheriff crew for escorting our groups, Caney Fork Cycles for free bike repair and tune ups, Red Silo Runners for serving up our meal, and to Cookeville Regional Charitable Foundation and community partners for providing fun activities for the kiddos! Special thanks to the Girl Scouts for their cookie donations, first aid kits and cheering on our family fun ride for many years! A HUGE thank you to Red Silo Brewing for being the most generous hosts for years! We could not ask for a better location and supportive crew!

Finally and most importantly, thank you to our 2026 sponsors!!! Without you, this event would not be possible. And because of you, we are able to make our dream of growing The Tennessee Central Trail a reality!

Make sure you follow all our accounts and stay tuned for our full event photos to be shared!
