NASHVILLE-Want a way to get around the long lines of traffic at Bonaroo this year? Then look no further.
Organizers are looking for people to participate in the first Roo Ride – a 60-mile overnight bike ride to the four-day, multi-stage music festival, which is synonymous with long lines and bottlenecks.
Roo Ride organizers Greta Springer and Amy Wolanski told The Tennessean they hope to inspire participation by traveling past points of interest along the way, such as Civil War battlegrounds and town squares. It also augments the local green initiative.
The plan calls for riders to travel on June 11 from Smyrna to Manchester, camp a couple of miles from the festival site, and then either bike back or hitch a ride from Roo Ride organizers.
It’s an idea for those who want to enjoy musical jams without worrying about traffic jams.
