   The name of this ride will be obvious to the adventureous cyclist choosing the 100 mile route. You will experience some of the
most beautiful, rugged and hostile landscape in the country. The perfect location for the maximum security Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary.
 
   Fortunately, the roads are well maintained, the decents are fast and the climbs separate whoever needs to be separated. The
70 mile route is not for the faint of heart. Although you won't pass by Brushy Mountain State Penetentiary, or be attacked by the
Frozen Head assent, you still have pleanty of challenging climbs, fast descents and navigational challenges to deal with, so be
alert.
 
   The decision point to go for the 100 mile or settle for the 72 mile route comes at 26 miles into the ride. You just have to ask
yourself, "Do I Feel Lucky Today."
 
  Plus... Your new friends at the Travel Authority in Farragut located next door to West Bicycles has really stepped up by donating
                   three Garmin 205 GPS's valued at $199 each to be given away at random to three successful Jail Breakers.
 
   Plus... From West Bicycles, on Saturday July 19th only, every rider receives a $10 credit on anything in the store upon
                   completion of the ride. To get the credit just turn in your ID bracelet that you wear during the ride.
 
   Plus... Five dollars ($5) of every entry fee will be donated to the Philadelphians Prison Ministery. They have not been told that this
                   event will benefit the Philadelphians Ministry. Won't they be suprised?
 
   Plus... The top 10 Jail Breakers from each route will have their mug shot displayed on the Jail Break web page.
 
   Plus... Accurate maps and queue sheets
 
   Plus... Local sheriff's will be anticipating cyclist and hopefully won't mistake you for escapees.
 
   Plus... Hey, what else is could you ask for?
