Participants in the Ninth Annual Tour de Grizz are encouraged to join the group
prior to the ride for music and entertainment from noon to 1:00 p.m. on the
north side of The Tennessee Welcome Center (191 Riverside Dr.) before hopping on
their bikes for a one and a half mile ride to FedExForum to see the Grizzlies
take the court in the final home matchup of the regular season. Riders in the
Tour de Grizz will depart from The Tennessee Welcome Center at 1:15 p.m. and
will be accompanied by MPD escorts to ensure the safety of all participants as
they make the trip to and from FedExForum. Once the riders have reached the
arena, they will have complimentary “Bike Valet Parking.” Following the game,
fans will be invited to participate in a group ride back to the park.
All participants must be at least 10 years of age to ride their own bike and are
required to provide their own bike and safety equipment, including a helmet and
lights. The Ninth Annual Tour de Grizz will take place rain or shine. Fans who
