More detail, from that team:

“Not to brag, but we’re rumored to be the best finish line experience and best sunset in all of Bike MS! See for yourself as you ride from Eagleville High School outside of Franklin to the Jack Daniel’s Distillery in Lynchburg where you’ll be greeted by a celebration complete with food, drinks, and even a Jack & Coke slushie trailer. Enjoy a tour of the distillery and an evening dinner and awards program at their exclusive BBQ Hill. Start Sunday with a hot breakfast before returning to Eagleville for a finish line experience along with a community of riders dedicated to changing the world for people with MS. Feel the extraordinary support and excitement throughout your journey as we come together to reach our goal—a world free of MS.”
