TB 7/2 and 7/4

Roll Sat @ 8:30 from St Elmo Food City.    Head south and get the climb out of the way early with everyone’s not so favorite – Nickajack.    Left on Hinkle at the top (PLEASE REGROUP AT THE TOP OF THE BIG HILL!), Humping Dog backwards (that doesn’t sound right), then down 136 and Marble back.   58 miles, 4000 feet, with those needing a metric finding Mighty Mike Miles at the end while the rest of us fight off the flies at Steady’s campground.   Here’s the map:   https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38120455

 Roll Monday @ 9:00 from the BeezleBub Chicken Ranch (1546 Burnt Mill Rd. Flintstone GA 30725) for the Holiday Ride.    Folks north of town can jump on in St Elmo or on River Street to save some drive time.   Normal holiday route, 42 miles, 2600 feet.   REMEMBER THIS IS A HOLIDAY RIDE WITH THE GOAL BEING TO GET FOLKS OUT WHO MAY NOT RIDE WITH US OFTEN.   IF YOU ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR STRAVA NUMBERS THAN THE FOLKS IN THE GROUP FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO.    Sweetie and BeelzeBub are cooking up some lunch for Bubba so stick around post-ride.   (He told me all the stuff they’re fixin but I lost focus as soon as he said there’d be bacon.)   Here’s the map BUT REMEMBER THE MAIN GROUP STARTS FROM BUB’S NOT ST ELMO:   https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36208471

Sat. 6/25

Elites will play rabbit to TB by doing a shortened version of their route. Roll from the Soddy Ball Fields at 8:30 and climb up Retro Hughes, back down Leggett, and back via Stormer. 40 mies and if you need to add miles climb Hotwater at the end.

TB 6/25

Roll from Falling Water at 8:30.   (It’s really not that far and worth it to ride some of Bubba’s favorites!)   Head north for a climb up Retro, descend everyone’s favorite Leggett, jump on the Stormer roller coaster, then meander our way back on a few less familiar roads.   61 miles, 3900 feet.   Do laps in the parking lot with Mighty Mike to make it a solid metric because he’s sick that way.

Stick around post-ride to eat some big ole pork butts smoked by Slick and Cowboy!  Remember this is a fundraiser to help Bub One! since he is out of work because of the crash so eat/donate/drink/and donate some more! BYOB. Swimming hole will be open as well, but suits are required.

A generous anonymous donor has made an offer to match any donations for Bub One dollar for dollar that are given between 5pm today and midnight tomorrow up to $1,650. So anything thrown in the pot at Bub’s house will count or you can Venmo donations to Jungle Jim (Jim Shea) at @James-Shea-15
