HBC Saturday Ride - Big Hill Challenge! Alternate Leipers Fork Ride

  • Big Hill Challenge Public Square Watertown, TN, 37184 United States (map)

Saturday, June 12 - 6:30 for Century Riders; 7:00 A.M. for other routes
Big Hill Challenge from Watertown!

Watertown Public Square, Watertown 37184

The HBC always supports the organized rides of our neighboring clubs, and the awesome Watertown ride of the Veloteers Club is back on for this year.  This is an incredibly scenic ride, and they always say that if you encounter a stop light you are off-course!  It's a traffic-free rural area with varied terrain and the real challenge of Big Hill in Cannon County!

The Century option begins at 6:30, which should appeal to our insomniacs.  The Metric and Half-Metric routes begin at 7:00.  The cost is $50.  There is no same-day registration, so please register by June 10.  The rest stops will have prepackaged food and the post-ride lunch will be boxed.  If you've never done this ride, you've missed some of the best cycling in Middle Tennessee!  Please remember to wear your new HBC kit for recognition!  Here's a link for more information and registration:
