Come build your skills so you can go home and create radical change in your local community!  \n*Please recognize this retreat is intended only for FTWNB (femme\, trans\, women\, and non-binary) folks. We appreciate you respecting this space for people who share these identities! If you don’t identify as such but want to support our mission\, you can donate to make tickets more affordable! \nRAR NAR exists to fill your cup\, escape the busy world\, and relax. You’re welcome to choose to go on group rides\, attend workshops\, or just lay alone in a hammock on the waterfront for 4 days straight. That last one actually sounds pretty ideal…  \nWe want you to curate a RAR NAR experience that meets your own needs\, and you know what those needs are best!  \nWe created RAR NAR with the goal of building community around bike liberation and joy\, and that is exactly what we are here for– laughter\, friendships\, and building a sense of camaraderie on bikes with other riders who are trans\, nonbinary\, and/or women. Join us September 18th-21st\, 2026! \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is part of Bikepacking Root’s Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.

We’ll roll out from camp\, pass one of the region’s beautiful waterfalls\, and make two stops along the way to snorkel and explore the river. We’ll eat dinner at Tellico Beach (an iconic burger shack) before riding back to camp for the night. Expect a mostly paved route with some gravel\, steady climbing\, and plenty of time built in to enjoy the water\, wildlife\, and scenery. \nRide Capacity: 12 Riders. Register here. \nDate: September 19th — September 20th\, 2026 \nMeet Up: Plan to meet up at North River Campground at 10am. \nWheels Down: North River Campground at 10:30am. \nDistance: 31.2 mi. \nElevation: 1674 ft. \nAverage Pace: 8-10 mph. \nLink to Routes: Tellico Bike + Fish Fieldtrip. \nMinimum Bike Requirements: Riders should bring a bike in good working order that has been recently serviced. We will not be able to provide safety checks or repairs before or during the ride\, so riders should be prepared to be self-sufficient on the route. This ride is mostly paved\, but includes gravel sections\, and riders should be able to comfortably carry their own overnight snorkel gear. The route starts and ends at the campground\, so you will not need to carry camping equiptment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is part of Bikepacking Root’s Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada.
