Tacos & Tunnels Ride

Easy roads. Iconic stops. Mountain views. Good friends.

🌮 Lunch Kickoff:
We’ll meet in Abingdon for Mexican food at Puerto Nuevo Fresh Mex & Seafood to fuel up before we roll out.

🪨 Stop #1 – Backbone Rock
the famous Backbone Rock — known as “the shortest tunnel in the world.” Perfect photo op and a must-see if you’ve never ridden through it!

🏍 Scenic Stretch – The Snake (Easy Section)
We’ll continue toward Shady Valley, cruising a relaxed portion of U.S. Route 421 — just enough curves to make it fun without being overwhelming.

☕ Country Store Stop
We’ll swing by the Shady Valley Country Store. It’s seasonal, so March can be hit or miss — but it’s always a great gathering spot.

🌅 South Holston Lake Final Stop
We’ll loop back past South Holston Lake for peaceful water views.
