Early Bubba Special rolls @ 4:00 from old BiLo in Red Bank (corner of Browntown and Dayton Blvd) for the “regular” Tuesday loop up Hotwater.   See map in Other Rides section.

Normal Tuesday ride leaves at 5:30 as always.

Roll from Red Bank Elementary at 8:30 – it’s just past the foot of the W on the right going down Mountain Creek Road.   (Folks at the Aldi center aren’t big on Bubba taking up parking spots and we don’t want to wear out our welcome at the old Pizza Hut lot.)   We’ll warm up with a SPIN up the W.   As always we’ll stagger groups of 5 or so going up to hold down Facebook complaints, and if you want an even gentler spin up help us break up the group by heading straight up the W out of the school instead of doing the short 2-mile segment down Runyon on the map.   REMEMBER TO REGROUP AT THE TOP OF THE “Ws” on East Brow (don’t go all the way to Taft), and we’ll then head down the Marshall Creek Gorge, off the back of Signal (ouch), up Henson Gap (another ouch), the 10-longest miles across Mowbry (yep, you’re getting the “ouch” idea), down Montlake and back.   60 miles, 5000 feet, but it’ll feel like much, much more.   

Early Bubba Special rolls @ 4:00 from Whole Foods for the Hillz.   Back to the Bend for some loops around 5:30 for anyone who wants to jump on.   After-party at Whole Foods.

“Regular” Tuesday ride rolls from old BiLo in Red Bank at 5:30 as always – see Other Rides section below.

UPDATE:   Well, I suspect at this point even the Easter bunny dislikes that dad-burn groundhog!   NO RIDE TODAY.

Happy Easter Bubbas!

 

 

Early Bubba Special rolls this week @ 4:00 from Red Bank (old BiLo at corner of Dayton Blvd and Browntown) and does the “regular” Tuesday night loop up Hotwater.   (Map in Other Rides section below)

“Regular” Tuesday night ride leaves from the same place @ 5:30 as always.

Roll again @ 9:00 from Mikes.  We’ll do our own groundhog day with another warmup on Riverfront as we head south into the wind again.  However, after the toe we’ll head up Elder, down Raccoon to Cummings, down the stairs, 299 and then enjoy the sweetest tarmac in Chatt on Murphy Hollow.   (Those are words I thought I’d never say.)   Right on Slygo where we’ll wind around to New England and Creek Rd for (fingers crossed) the wind push back to Mikes.  It’s a metric and around 4000 feet.   If the wind gets too bad we can shave a few miles after Murphy by turning left on the way down the foot of Sand.

Early Bubba Special rolls this week from Whole Foods @ 4:00 for the Hillz.   Should be back to the Bend by 5:30 or so if anyone wants to jump on there for a few loops.  After-party at Whole Foods.

Remember that the “regular” Tuesday ride continues to leave from the old BiLo in Red Bank at 5:30.   See “Other Rides” below for map.

Roll from Mike’s at 9:00.   South via Creek and over 136.   Plan to regroup at Sunset for the 5-6 mile ride over Lookout – wind gonna be even worse on top but hopefully at our backs and sides going this way.   (Careful of the crosswinds going down.)   We’ll regroup at the store at the bottom, and then hopefully let the tailwind push us back home via the normal Marble Top route with Dry Valley kicker.   Nothing creative, the key this week being to play the wind.  A metric and 4000 feet as mapped.
