Hey!
Let's Go Play!

Just Not Quite Yet....
The ​Club COVID Status Update 2020
​“Club Members, In consideration of the following :
1. We are a club of primarily older aged individuals and as often does accompany age, there tends to come the addition of factors that put many of our members into a high risk category!
2. Only a very few number of members have expressed interest in re-opening the club at this time. Even fewer in leading and or being responsible for leading an event.
3. We are not a for-profit business and thus our economic survival does not rest on taking an inappropriate risk to reopen at this time, to put our members at increased risk, or to assume increased liability for that risk.
4. The numbers of infectious and hospitalized with Covid-19 continue to be on a rising trend in our region, our state and most certainly in the states that surround us and where people often travel to and from here, and from there to our regions trails, parks and forests in this area. Not a single state in our region has met the CDC criteria for re-opening in spite of having done so and we are beginning to see the results of that in the data that is being reported.
5. Some people are refusing to follow safe and reasonable guidelines to protect themselves and others.
6. We are still in the midst of a global pandemic. There is still no available definitive treatment, or vaccine available.

In consideration of these factors, member discussion and other available data, I believe that the executive board is in agreement that the club continues in a holding pattern with NO club sanctioned events at this time. We will re-evaluate at a later date. In appreciation of and consideration of the many years most of the club leadership and event leaders have diligently worked to keep the club going, I would also say that this break is well deserved for them! Without their ongoing efforts there would be no club, unless others step into those roles. Something to think about over this break period, that I have been communicating, that must be addressed for the future continuation of this club. Please use this break to focus on the health and safety of you and your family at this time.”

If a few members of our club still want to meet for a hike or bike ride, it can be coordinated on our Facebook Page by the people who want to do it; with the understanding and the following posted disclosure that “the event is not sanctioned by the club and people do it at their own risk, CDC guidelines are highly recommended.”

As far our next meeting, let’s review that after the holidays. Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Kwanza!
Happy Hanukkah! Happy Solstice! Merry Christmas!
And Happy "all faiths" celebrations!


I believe this new normal will have to be reviewed on regular basis, potential monthly based as the situation evolves and with club input.

Jeannine
​Club President
The Greeneville Hiking & Cycling Club of Greeneville, Tennessee was founded in 1984 to hold hikes in Greene County, the Cherokee National Forest, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the surrounding area, and to perform conservation efforts to help protect our great natural gifts. Day hikes are scheduled year round most every weekend. The club roll currently exceeds 125 members and our activities have been expanded to include cycling and canoeing among other outdoor activities. We had a very active group of bike riders that held road rides nearly every weekday when the weather is favorable. We are looking for a new leader to take on that open role! Occasional weekend or longer bicycle,, backpacking and car camping trips are held. Occasional weekday events are also scheduled as we have a large number of active retirees in the club. The club is very involved with trail maintenance and community service.
​EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN IN ANY OF OUR ACTIVITIES

Whether you are a bicycler or a hiker, we have a variety of events in the regional areas of Eastern and Middle Tennessee, Western NC, and Southwest Virginia, including areas off the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We have even been know to take trips to SC, Kentucky, and other out of state locales on occasion.

​In addition to hiking and biking, we often do dining along with our events, either at a great restaurant near our destination or planning a picnic. We sometimes add backpacking, camping, group resort stays, canoeing, and other events such as the viewing of the Full Solar Eclipse.

* Light social drinking is ok but drunks and drugs are not! Alcohol and drugs are prohibited in most parks and natural areas!

Pet-loving...Mostly

We welcome trained pets as long as they are under your control and leashed and follow all local regulations regarding animals on trails. Most National Parks, such as the Great Smoky Mountains Park, do NOT allow pets on the trails. In those areas that do allow pets, you must bring all necessary water and supplies to care for your pet, clean up after your pets, including packing out what they and you bring in and are responsible for their safe transportation to and from events. Sometimes we do ride sharing to keep the number of vehicles to a minimum as sometimes parking can be limited or shuttles which require leaving a vehicle at the opposite end to shuttle drivers and people back after the hike is done. Your animal may not be welcome in others vehicles. Please consult with the hike leader if you are not already familiar.
