Any Saturday is a good Saturday for a bike ride.  But this Saturday is not looking like it’s earning any stars on your “Best Cycling Days Ever” chart.

The forecast predicts a washout.  As of now, no ride is planned.  If surprised by better than expected weather Saturday morning, we’ll update this post by 8 am.

Roll from the St. Elmo Food City at 9 am for the traditional CCW loop south through Chattanooga Valley to Captain Wood  Road — 53 miles and 2,660 feet.  Stop planned at the store at mile 40.

It will be a nice spring day for this Missile-led ride.  Elites will leave from the parking lot across from the Falling Water Baptist Church at 9 am for a 40 mile CCW loop to Sale Creek and back — 1,800 feet with a 1/2 dozen or so hills to help work the dust off winter fitness levels.

Elites will wait to 11 am to leave from Montague Park when the forecast is for an acceptable 40 degree start.  Roughly, the same route as TB except we’ll close the loop at Rock Spring — which shorts the ride to 48 miles and 2,300 feet of climbing.  Stop at the battlefield park HQ.
