the 2nd part - the official ride - 3rd saturday in september
The official Ride that commemorates the Trail of tears and that thousands of riders participate on the 3rd Saturday of every september runs from Bridgeport on the east side of alabama all the way to waterloo that sits over near alabama's western border. this is the portion of the ride that commemorates the specific trail, the drane-hood route, on which most of the cherokee perished. This portion of the ride is escorted from end to end by the Alabama law enforcement. Every intersection is blocked for us and we travel unhindered the entire way and are greeted by thousands of alabamans who come out to watch the procession and wave at riders.
the 3rd part - the westward ride - Leaves sunday morning
On Sunday morning the ride organizers and a group of hardy supporters leave from Spring Park in Tuscumbia to head west for this year's special event. This year we have been asked by the city of Ft. Smith, AR to allow them to honor us and the Trail of tears Ride. We will be greeted by city officials and shown appreciation for our efforts every year. The ride west is a 2 day event... leisurely riding... with stay overnight in Searcy, OK.
