  Tour de Bodock Bicycle Rides

  Benefitting the Beautiful Tanglefoot Trail!

  Event: Enjoy the beautiful Tanglefoot Trail® and experience the scenic woods and countryside of North Mississippi. New date - October weather should be cooler! Also, neither Mississippi State or Ole Miss has a home football game on October 10th.

  Distances and description: Metric Century (100k, 62 miles), Half Metric Century (50k, 31 miles), 20 miles, and 10k (6.2 miles) - something for everyone! The Metric Century and Half Metric Century will once again offer two different courses - one that is mostly flat with gentle slopes and one with several challenging hills. Have it your way - hills or no hills! All courses are well marked and patrolled by volunteers to assist with any needs that may arise. The courses will also have aid stations stocked with water and snacks. All riders must wear a helmet.
