Walk Bike Nashville welcomes everyone to root for their favorite riders at the intersection of 51st Avenue and Illinois Avenue. Following which, attendees can revel in the rest of the day on 51st Avenue.

Facilities like water, snacks, restrooms, and bike maintenance stops will be accessible along the way.

Following opening remarks at 7:30 AM, which will feature a talk by Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell, the first ride will kick-off at 7:45 AM. Following rides will launch in a staggered fashion, every 15 minutes till 2 PM when all the routes are projected to conclude.
