Welcome to Southern Cycling Operations

Our efforts go to promoting cycling in Knoxville and surrounding areas. This year the SCO club put on two races, the River Road Time Trial and the Downtown Maryville Criterium Race, and the 2nd Annual English Mountain Challenge. In the past, we've had over 400 riders participate in these events and we're hoping for even more this year! This marks the tenth year of our promotion of the River Road Time Trial.
The club will continue to reimburse riders for entry fees for those that wear the club jersey and qualify. The reimbursement covers Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina. Approximately 40 riders took advantage of the reimbursements with over $4000 disbursed.
Also, we continue to promote cycling with 3 club members (Caroline Cooley, Jay Nevans, and John Baker) on Knoxville's Bicycle Advisory Committee. The committee raises awareness and promotes tolerance in addition to working with TDOT and the city engineers to make sure all new construction includes allowances for safe cycling. 2006 also marks the second year for our participation in Adopt-A-Mile on Neubert Springs Road. At least twice yearly, the club picks up trash and litter on the first mile of Neubert which is the gateway to south Knoxville's best cycling roads.

SCO meets on the second wednesday of every month at the Bike Zoo in Knoxville. For a map, click here.
