Saturday 2/2

Roll from Falling Water @ 9:30 for a Bubba favorite. Yes, the Armstrong/Lee/May raceway up to Daugherty Ferry with an optional climb up Hotwater.  Optional loop on top (gonna be cool Sat morning but should be warmer by the time we get there) and lots of ways to short it for those with less time or desire.   As mapped it’s 60 miles, 3500 feet for the whole enchilada. Strong men wanting more should roll from the Aldi (Kmart) at 8:50 – that stretches it to 80+.  And remember fellers, it’s February so if you are looking for a full-blown hammerfest look elsewhere.

And even more important than the usual Ginger vs Mary Ann debate, Bubba will spend the majority of this one debating whether it’s Merv’s or H&A post ride.

Saturday 1/26 no climb

Saturday morning we be fretfully cold. So, we’ll Roll @ 12:00 from the Handup Handle and Bar (Bandit’s place) at 1155 E. Main St. BubOne promises that the first round post-ride is on the house although I’m not sure if he’s told Bandit that. It’ll be a metric, and while there’s a climb/no climb option there’s definitely a group that will take the no climb route ;). Lots of ways to short either route for those with less time. Check the website for updates Saturday morning.

Saturday 3/2

DAVID MEEK MEMORIAL KOM RIDE

Roll from Suck Creek Cycle @ 8:00.   Go until you can’t.    Phase One mapped below is 70 miles and 6500 feet.    Phase Two adds 25 miles and a crawl up Robert’s Mill.   Why?  Because that’s the way Dave would have liked it.

Saturday 1/5

Still in winter pace mode, Bubba (TB and Elites) rolls from the Signal Rd Kmart (now an Aldi) at 8:30.  We’ll stick to a Bubba Basic and head up Hotwater via the Foot Washing church. Lots of ways to short it for those who promised Mrs. Bubba they’d be home early to take down the tree. Now look, if you rocket up the climb and get back down to the bank and no one is there, that’s because you didn’t read the map – this time we’ll regroup at the store on top for a loop up there and Fisher also has us going through the golf hood on top instead of straight down Montlake. 55 miles, back around noon, and a bonus climb up Signal for those who actually made a resolution.

New Years Day – the Beast

Roll from H&A at 9:00 for The Beast.   37 miles with an alternate route for those with a legitimate doctor’s excuse.   Easy to add a lap or two at the bend for those wanting more.

Sat 12/29

Yes a little late but it’s time for the Wilbur Chimney ride. We’ll roll at 9:30 from the Starbucks at Rock City on Lookout Mtn. but come early for some good coffee. Route takes us to Point Park, West Brow and then out Scenic Hwy. Down Burkhalter, up 136, and then around Humping Dow Loop. Back via Lulu Lake Rd. Got some visitors joining us so let’s be nice. Post ride coffee and pictures at the Starbuck’s chimney when done.

Monday 12/24

Okay, Fly called an audible Saturday, but the good news is that we can now do this ride in the morning. Monday we’ll make do with the north chatt hills again.  Roll from Heaven & Ale at 10:00 (it’ll be 35 degrees).  We’ll go until our toes can’t stand any more.  Check the map as we’re mixing things up (thanks Fisher!).  Easy to drop off any time and head to the mall. Those with more time and who don’t have Renee toes will add on as the planet warms.
