Sunday 12/9

UPDATE:  RIDE ON FOR 1:30 FROM H&A. UNFORTUNATELY IT’S NOT GONNA WARM UP SO PROBABLY DO H&A HILLS ROUTE POSTED FRIDAY INSTEAD OF RIDE BELOW.  THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE RENEE TOES WILL ADD ON.

SURVIVAL SUNDAY — Okay, assuming we survive being indoors all day Saturday, ROLL FROM H&A SUNDAY AT 1:30.   Over the toe, up ELDER and right to descend Raccoon (don’t go all the way to the top), down the Stairs, 299 back.    Winter pace – if you simply can’t control yourself there are plenty of other places to ride.  Recovery beverages at H&A.   CHECK BACK FOR CHANGES IN START TIME DEPENDING ON WEATHER.

Saturday & Sunday 12/1-2

Okay, so Saturday won’t be fit for man or Will-de-beast.   So, roll Sunday at 1:30 (Bubba don’t post over church) from the old Signal Rd Kmart (now Aldi) for the Hotwater loop. We know that’s not exciting but it’s desperate times given the weather. TB and Elites. “Winter pace” although we will go fast enough to keep Steady and #3 from talking about the Cracker Barrel that was at the bottom of Missionary Ridge during the Civil War. (Rudy, am I wrong to not want to hear any more about that?)

Don’t forget Bub 1’s Bluegrass Christmas Saturday night. BYOB and that’s not bring your own Bubba!

Thanksgiving Week

Wednesday 11/21 – Lunch ride from the Downtown YMCA rolls at 11:45.

Thanksgiving Day – Bubba’s Choice. You’re on your own today. Enjoy.

Friday – Some Bubbas still have to work so let’s schedule a lunch ride. Roll from the YMCA parking lot at 11:45 for about 1:30 ride. Those that have the time can add on. Route TBD

Saturday – Weather permitting we’ll roll at 9:30 from the Heaven & Ale taproom on Cherokee Blvd. We’ll head south via Dry Valley, Marble Top, etc. and return via Kennsington, Boss Rd. and back through Chattanooga Valley. At St. Elmo we’ll hit Guild Trail Rd and then you can make a decision at Ochs Hwy to turn left and climb Lookout or turn right and head back to Boss’s happy place. 50 miles with no climb, 58 with the climb. Watch for weather updates Saturday morning.

Primary TB ride the BubOne v2.5.   See Elite post.

For those with less time, roll from Falling Water at 8:30 for one of the routes washed out last week — climbing Retro or Brayton.    Brayton Mtn route linked below.   Retro route shaves it to like 50 miles.

Saturday 10/6

Gonna be a scorcher for October this Sat and seein’ as how Bubba needs to get in some Okterberfest training he’ll roll early.    Roll at 8:00 from Unum.   (Those of us needing less will jump on around 8:25 at the Tif Bilo to shave 10 miles.)   Toe, Kelly’s Ferry to Cummings, down the stairs, over Ladd, up the good road of Sand and across the top, and then mix things up by descending to Trenton and coming back Creek Rd.     68 miles, 3800 feet.    Easy to short by turning on 299.   Real Oktoberfest training at UJ post-ride.

Have you registered for Oktoberfest? Remember, Sunday midnight is the last chance to register.     https://veloviewbiketours.com/chattanooga-challenge

TB rolls at 8:30 from old Signal Rd Kmart (now the Aldi behind Burger King).   Head north, climb Montlake, down Hotwater, and then the may, lee Armstrong loop.  A metric.

Saturday 7/7

Weatherman promises it will be a little cooler tomorrow but seein’ as how I don’t believe him TB will roll early to beat the heat.   Roll @ 8:00 from Unum.   Toe, 299, over Ladd to South Pitt (where we’ll pick up a bottle at Steady’s place for the pool party), refuel at the fireworks store, then the back road where Squeaky likes to swim, and back Cummings (up the stairs).     REMEMBER TO REGROUP ON 299 AFTER “TRUCK STOP HILL” OR I’LL SAY HURTFUL THINGS.    Should be a fairly fast route and back before 12.   66 miles, 3400 feet.    For Bubba’s who must get 4000 feet before they do a cannon ball into the pool, up Lookout to Sanders for 70 miles and 4000 feet.  (Yes, BubOne, we know you are.)

Saturday 6/30

Heat will be suffocating tomorrow so TB will get an early climb and then look for shade.   Roll at 8:30 from Unum.   Toe, Elder (with loop up top), Cummings, Murphy, then wind around to Creek Rd.   (Check the map – we’ve only done this a time or two.)   60 miles, 4000 feet.   Lunch at UJ.
