TB Sat. 8/23 – Bones’ Bachelor Ride

This week Bubba is doing something a little different in honor of Bones’ (Garrison Wheeler’s) bachelor celebration. Bones and others will be doing the Lunch Ride, which is a 120ish mile ride from Chattanooga to Sewanee and back. Since Bubba ain’t that strong, Bubba will do an abbreviated version starting from Wal-Mart in Kimball at 9:00 a.m. ET. The group will meet up with the bachelor group at mile 10.6 at the closed Mtn. Mart on Sequatchie Mtn. It is a bit of a drive but should be an adventure.

 

When: 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time
Where: Kimball Crossing (Wal-Mart) Shopping Center in Kimball, TN
Please park where you are not going to be taking up spots from businesses, see GoogleMaps link
Stats: 62 miles and 3,649 ft
