This Saturday is looking pretty nice compared to the last few we have had, but it still won’t crack freezing until about 10:30. So, we will roll from St. Elmo Food City at 10:30 for a 42-mile ride through North Georgia. Post ride lunch at Tap House. There is no planned store stop, but there are options along the way.
