Cool Springs Ride

Tuesday, Apr. 25 - 6:00 P.M.
Cool Springs Ride! 
ShareCare parking lot, 701 Cool Springs Blvd. (southeast corner of Cool Springs Blvd. East & Carothers Pkwy.), Franklin 37067

The Harpeth Club has sponsored this classic ride for the last 15 years!  While many racers strive for fast times on this fairly hilly course, more moderate riders also enjoy the ride and will accompany our ride leaders.  However, this ride is NOT for novices, due to both difficulty and traffic!  Fredia Barry, Pete Cacchioli, and Scott Thurston will lead the ride but there is no sweep, so riders are responsible for knowing the routes, as detailed below.  As always, our leaders will make sure everyone who left the parking lot with our group has returned before they depart after the ride (and go looking for them if necessary).

This Tuesday's weather is looking good!  But when the ride has to be cancelled because of weather, Fredia will send a message by the General List. So be sure you have subscribed to that list. To do so, go to the HBC website, click on "About," then click on the right side on "Club Email and Mailing Lists," and follow the very simple instructions.

The standard route of 26 miles goes out Carothers to Gosey Hill Road and Crowder Road, and then takes Meeks and McDaniel to Cox Road, coming in on Wilson Pike.  A shorter route of 21 miles is available, taking Peytonsville-Trinity Road after Crowder.  When sunset is later, a longer option will be available.
