Cyclists,

 

The Tuesday-Thursday flatland hammer fests have grown tiresome and tedious.  As an antidote to this stale condition, I'm adding a new weekday ride from downtown to liven things up while the light is still good.  It will also give us downtowners a ride that does not require a 15 mile drive during rush hour.  As a bonus, the hills will discourage the triathletes and the knuckle draggers from starting a testosterone fight or gutter sweeping.

 

Here's the deal:

 

Location:  Meet at Big Springs Park downtown.  Park across from the Holiday Inn or nearby.

 

Time:  Launch at 5:30 PM

 

Route:  North up Meridian, Chase, Chase Industrial Park, Old Gurley Road, Wall Road, Dug Hill, King Drake, Cauldwell, Old Big Cove, Four-Mile Post, Garth, Drake, Whitesburg, Downtown.

 

Length:  30 miles

 

Pace:  Let's keep it under two hours.  Approximately 1:45 for 30 miles.  Lollygagging will produce darkness issues.

 

See y'all Wednesday.
