The Clinch Mountain Century and its sister ride, the 6 Mountain Metric, are cycling fundraisers through the valleys and mountains of Tazewell County, Virginia to support the construction of the Four Seasons YMCA. The Metric ride is held each Spring and for the last few years the Century during the Fall season but that event is no longer being held. The 6 Mountain Metric starts from Tazewell Community Hospital in Tazewell, Virginia and includes 60 miles (approximately 100 Kilometers) of riding from Tazewell to Marion, VA and back with 7,500 feet in elevation gain. Held at the same time for casual riders is a "30 mile fun ride" through Liberty, the Cove, Thompson Valley, down Plum Creek and back to Tazewell. The fun ride also begins at the hospital and both of them include breathtaking views of the Town of Tazewell, Frog Level area, Thompson Valley and more!
