The route has changed for the TOT Ride in 2009. Due to interference from former disgruntled board members and lack of cooperation by local city governments across north Alabama, the ride will no longer come through here.
The new route will follow US41 / US64 through southern Tennessee and then turn south on US43 and end in Florence, AL.
The answer to your next question is, YES, you will still be able to continue on to Waterloo, or visit at anytime during the weekend.
What a huge loss of revenue for the city of Madison, who would not issue a parade permit to the original leader of the ride last year.
I predict that there will still be 100,000+ that will depart from Chattanooga on September, 19th and follow the new route.
Keep on riding,
John
