Chattanooga, TN
First, apologies for forgetting to post last week’s ride.
Roll with TB at 8:30 from I-75 GA Exit 345. See TB post for parking suggestions. Will roll with them until the store stop in Subligna at mile 26.8 at which point will head back north for the return. 53 miles.
This weekend Bubba will head to North Georgia to ride some Fly roads.
Route: Red Bank to Retro Hughes
Elites will roll at 8:30 with TB from St. Elmo Food City. Over the toe and then up and over the Stair Steps, but then left on 299 to Murphy Hollow. Come down Slygo, up and over on Morganville Ridge and return via Creek Rd, Wauhatchie, etc. If you want more you can climb up Lookout on Scenic Hwy to Sanders. 44 miles without the add on. There’s a store at mile 28 if anyone needs it.
Stats: 62 miles and 4,000 ft
Roll out from the Old Bi-Lo/B&B Discount/Tuesday night Worlds location at 8:45 for a similar route as TB, but only one climb and 46 miles. If timed correctly we’ll merge with TB somewhere on Levi Rd. If not, oh well….. Same route up Hotwater, Poe Rd, but then turn back right on Mowbray Mtn road at mile 27.6 to descend and back to the start. If you’re totally confused, look at the map.
Roll with TB from Mike’s Hole in the Wall at 9am, over the toe, Wauhatchie, 299, left on Slygo all the way to the Gliderport, where we’ll turn left and return via Creek Rd. Yep, no Burkhalter climb. 42 rolling miles.
Here we go again with more rain forecast this Saturday. I will host a 2 hour Zwift ride at 8:30 AM and all Bubbas are welcome to join. Heck, no reason to make it exclusive to Bubbas, feel free to invite your cousin, neighbors, or mother-in-law’s so long as they are a Zwift subscriber they are welcome to suffer with the rest of us.
The rules are same as prior events:
In order to join up you:
I have already invited those folks who joined up on the last ride. If you have not joined in previously but want to participate reply back to this email and be sure to include your name as listed on Zwift.. Late Friday I will revise the invites via Zwift to add new participants to this Meetup. We have a planned session of 2 hours but allow late starters and early exits. As in the past you are not able to leave the Bubba pack as I am using Zwift setting “Keep Everyone Together”. However, we all need to work together to keep a strong combined average pace. In other words NO SANDBAGGING so you can kick hard to get sprint points!
If we have a divine intervention and the weather clears up we will post a ride from the Bubba route library late Friday. Hopefully the weather will improve next week.
