BlankFriends of cycling,

For all those who've been asking about Columbus Outdoor Pursuit's Columbus
Fall Challenge, I've pasted below
the September 20th update from the Columbus Outdoor Pursuits website here
http://www.outdoor-pursuits.org/biking/cfc.htm.
Columbus Fall Challenge is on!

Columbus Fall Challenge is a beautiful bicycle ride through the HILLS of
southeastern Ohio. Only those who've
been riding REAL HILLS all season should consider doing Columbus Fall
Challenge. (Believe me, there are no REAL HILLS
in Columbus.) It's called a "challenge" for good reason.

If you are interested in doing Columbus Fall Challenge click on the links to
the "Route Description" and to the
"Application and Information." If you have more questions after reading
those documents you might call Tour
Director Frank Seebode at the telephone number listed below.

Have fun!

CFC is Alive...

Columbus Fall Challenge
September 29-30, 2007

Application & Information

Route Description

There will be no more updates to this article. Most unknowns about Columbus
Fall Challenge are resolved.

CFC was at one point canceled and got resurrected on September 1st. As such
there will be no patches or T-shirts this year.

CFC will start at Berne Union Schools in Sugar Grove and end at the Betsy
Mills in Marietta. Breakfast will be served at the Marietta Middle School.
Located on Seventh St. by the YMCA.

The routes are finalized. Expect a hillier route than the past several
years. For a detail of the ride see ride detail. The Saturday route should
be around 112 miles, the Sunday route around 103 miles. The course profile
is by Delorme Topo which overstates the actual climbing so reduce the
numbers by say 10%.

Registering Late

Try to get your applications in such that they arrive no later than Thursday
September 27th. If you have doubts about your application arriving by
Thursday then:

1) E-mail your application to office(at)outdoor-pursuits.org by
Wednesday night. Bring the original signed application and your check to
the start. You will still pay just $55.

2) Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th E-mail your application to
fbseebode(at)@cs.com. Bring the original signed application and a $65.00
check to the start.

3) Day of ride registration for the first 25 people requesting an
application. Cost is $65.
