Monkey Town Loop offered to cyclists
Ride with GPS, a website for serious amateur and professional cyclists, has introduced a new cycling course in Rhea County. The Monkey Town Loop starts and ends in historic Dayton, Tenn., home of the highly publicized Scopes Trial, aka “Monkey Trial,” of July 1925.
This route is a monumental challenge, featuring two notable climbs: Brayton Mountain and Evensville Mountain. While both are challenging, Evensville takes the nod as the harder climb due to a steeper average grade leading up Walden’s Ridge. Enjoy this challenge, with its scenery and history and a fabulous ending at Monkey Town Brewery.
