Pedal the Gap

Pedal the Gap is a first year cycling event, with the staging point the historic town of Cumberland Gap, TN.  Five route distance options are offered, ranging from the beginner friendly 20 miler up to the 77 mile route that includes the famous Pinnacle climb. Those choosing the Pinnacle (77 or 55 mile options) will enter Kentucky through the mile long Cumberland Gap tunnel to Cumberland Gap National Park, where they will start the 3.1 mile/6.6 % “classic mountain” climb to the famous Pinnacle overlook. After conquering the double digit grade switchbacks, cyclists are treated to breathtaking views of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.
