Chattanooga, TN
As many of you know, we lost Robert (CHIEF) Chappell, one of our original Ride Leaders earlier this year. He was preceded in death by his lovely wife Helen but his children, Matt and Holly would appreciate your attendance and stories at 3:00 p.m. on November 19, 2023 at 1546 Burnt Mill Rd, Flintstone GA, 30725 (Bub One’s house) for a gathering of geezers while we can still remember the Good Ol’ Days. Burgers, Hotdogs and Fixins will be served, BYO-Adult Beverage.
There is a ride at noon from Bub’s to the Infamous CHIEF’S LOOP and back. This was the 4.1 mile Training Loop that Chief led us through at least once a week, now with brand new pavement!
Roll from Mike’s at 8:30 for a two climb ride up and over Signal and back via Henson Gap.
Bub 1 and 003 have cooked up a special ride for this weekend, a trip over Fort Mountain and back. It’s just over a metric at 63 miles, but it includes 6,500 ft of elevation. Roll from the Eton Plaza Shopping Center (https://maps.app.goo.gl/Td8WMjWzrm574gMk6) in Eton, GA, at 9:00.
