Option 1 – Bluegrass ride (see TB post). While it’s a long ride, it’s worth seeing the Little River Canyon and then hanging out after the ride for some great bluegrass. Skip the climb and start from John Carrol’s House

Option 3 – good luck to those that are doing the Hincapie Fondo. Have fun

TB 4/29
Some folks are out of town this Saturday and lots of others are tapering for Sunday’s Cornbread Festival. (No, no, not tapering for the ride – Bubbas are tapering for what really matters: the cornbread eating contest!) Bubbas able to ride Saturday will roll at 8:30 from the St Elmo Food City aka Steady’s Campground for a trip south on this BeezleBub/Flymanator-led ride. Some familiar roads and some not so familiar, so look at/download the map especially you $00 since you’d get lost in the Food City parking lot! A metric and 3600 feet. Lots of ways to short it for those with less time or who want to stretch their legs but not go too deep so as to be worn out for cornbread eating Sunday.
