From Smyrna to the ROO

Looks like Smyrna is a jump off point for a big bike trip to Bonnaroo.
For concertgoers looking for a way to avoid traffic snarls and long lines for this year’s Bonnaroo Music Festival June 9-12 in Manchester, Tenn., festival organizers have just the thing – a 60-mile, overnight bike ride to the event.

The inaugural Roo Ride literally takes the scenic route and cuts down one’s carbon footprint. The ride departs June 11 from the city of Smyrna to Manchester, taking in points of interest along the route such as Civil War battlegrounds. The route ends a short distance from festival grounds where riders can camp and enjoy the event, bike back or hitch a ride back with Roo Ride organizers.
This is pretty cool. Odd that it starts AFTER the concerts have already commenced, but it still looks like fun.
