It’s going to be blazing again this weekend, so we will start at 8:00 and try to get some climbing in early. Roll from Steady’s Campground for a trip up Nick-A-Jack and around the top of Lookout. There are plenty of ways to short if it gets too hot or you are short on time. Store stop at mile 33.5 on Hwy 136.

4th of July Holiday Ride and TB Sat. 7/6

First, Bubba will head to Bub One and Sweetie’s house on Thursday for a holiday ride followed by festivities and shenanigans with BBQ, Bacondogs, sides, and blackberry cobbler. BYOB. The pool is open. I’m told swimsuits are recommended but not required. Friends and family are welcome to join.

On Saturday, Bubba will exchange some climbing for some mileage riding up the W, down the back of Signal, and back over Suck.

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.

TB and Elites Saturday 5/11

Fly and Man in Black have put together a route from the “good ole days” when MiB was new to Chattanooga back in the 90s. It’s 67.5 miles starting from the Battlefield with some nice roads south of Lafayette that Bubba doesn’t get to very often. Refuel stop options are Catlett Groc on Round Pond (19.7), Lucky Groc on 136 (25.3), and Uncle Jed’s at 193/Chamberlain (46.1).

The Elite route splits off at 22.8 miles where the longer route goes south on Cook Rd and stays on Round Pond into Lafayette. Jog through Lafayette to pass the Circle K for a store stop option at 28 miles in addition to the earlier one above at Catlett Groc. 48 miles total.

When: 8:30
Where: Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center
