Sat. 6/29

A few of the elite Elites will be out of town Saturday. That said, TB’s route is very doable, but if you want something shorter here’s a 40 miler that starts with TB, but then climbs Sand via the goat path, back down, and then across the bridge to South Pittsburgh and back. See map. Have fun.

TB Sat. 6/22

Bubba will head west for a Ringgold to Cleveland metric. Roll at 8:00 to try to beat some of the heat. The start location is the old Waffle House at I-75 Exit 345, Ringgold/Tunnel Hill. We believe the Waffle House is closed for renovations and that we should be able to park there. Alternatively, there are several gas stations nearby. Park where you feel comfortable.
