20th Annual Meritan Moonlight Classic Bike Tour and Tailgate

Ride with the Party on Wheels as Meritan's 20th annual Moonlight Classic Bike Tour and Tailgate takes to the streets of East Memphis and Midtown on August 24th, 2019. This year's ride is ALL ABOUT MEMPHIS!

Tailgating fun will begin at 8 p.m. at the Richard & Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Park at Audubon Park on Perkins Extended. The pre-race party will feature local food, local beer, local prizes, and local entertainment all highlighted with "Bling Yourself,” “Bling Your Corner,” and “Bling Your Bike” contests. Again this year there will be great prizes for all of our winners!

The Bike Tour begins at 10 p.m. and for the first time will encompass two routes -- a 7-mile ride and a 19-mile ride -- all under the light of the summer moon and the watchful eye of the Memphis Police Department. Both routes will end at the place they started: the Richard & Annette Cancer Survivors Park.

The Bike Tour's early-bird rate is $40 per person, and late registration will be $45 per person. Be sure to use “early” for the discount code. So register today. It's easy. Just go to http://www.Meritan.org and click on the Bike Tour button.
