Lightning bug peak is supposed to be the week of this according to NPS. I’ve driven around the cove during the peak and they were amazing. 11.5 miles, as always in no hurry with pace allowing for anyone and walking bikes up hills. Bring whomever, the more the merrier. If anyone wanted to lead a shorter hike option let me know. Bike lights are probably a good idea, helmet if desired. I just got a great set on Amazon for $25. Let me know if you have any questions. I will check for messages before leaving Townsend. Ride will start no later than 6:45 unless I know someone is running late.
