TB and Elites Saturday 5/11

Fly and Man in Black have put together a route from the “good ole days” when MiB was new to Chattanooga back in the 90s. It’s 67.5 miles starting from the Battlefield with some nice roads south of Lafayette that Bubba doesn’t get to very often. Refuel stop options are Catlett Groc on Round Pond (19.7), Lucky Groc on 136 (25.3), and Uncle Jed’s at 193/Chamberlain (46.1).

The Elite route splits off at 22.8 miles where the longer route goes south on Cook Rd and stays on Round Pond into Lafayette. Jog through Lafayette to pass the Circle K for a store stop option at 28 miles in addition to the earlier one above at Catlett Groc. 48 miles total.

When: 8:30
Where: Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center

67.5 miles with 3,750 ft

48 miles with 2,400 ft

Sat. 5/4 RAIN DELAY

On a rain delay. Possibly roll at 11 but gravel option might not be a good one today
Weather permitting, Elites will do a shortened Gravel ride that includes the Daugherty Gap climb. See map for details. This ride will roll at 9:30 from Manor House and Mountain Cove Farms. Stay for Bluegrass Festival post-ride
However, if you never have I encourage you to join the Little River Canyon ride with TB. It’s one of the best routes around. If you want to shorten, drive to the top of the first climb and start and end from there.

TB Sat. 5/4 – RAIN DELAY

Rain Delay – Bub 1 will update around 9:30-10. Possibly 11:00 rollout
Instead of paying George to ride on your own roads, here’s an alternative for all the Cheapskate Bubbas! Stay after the ride for a world-class Bluegrass Festival (foreverbluegrass.com/) for FREE! Hot, homemade concessions available. (BYOB)
Both routes start at 9:00 am from the Manor House at Mountain Cove Farms (https://maps.app.goo.gl/6K6A9EBEA9V9esdw6). There is rain in the forecast, so check the weather before you head out.
