Today's regular HBC ride, previously scheduled at 9:00 from Hillsboro School, is CANCELLED. The roads are wet. The rain might quit between 8:30 and 9:00, but with the temperature in the 30's it is too cold to get wet. Tomorrow will be a better day to ride.
Due to the cancellation of today’s ride, we have created an HBC event on Zwift. Starting at 8:00, we plan on doing a new route in Makuri Islands. We may add on a few miles to round the total up to 30 miles. Click on the link below to sign up for the event or select it from Events list in Zwift or the Zwift Companion app.

HBC Sunday Ride
Westhaven parking lot, 1025 Westhaven Blvd., Franklin 37064 - take Hwy. 96 west from Franklin, turn left on Westhaven Blvd. at the traffic light, veer right onto State Blvd., and then take the very first left.
We will continue riding from Westhaven on Sundays during the off-season. Here is a map to guide you to the parking lot at Westhaven. Westhaven Blvd. is directly across Hwy. 96 from the end of Old Charlotte at the big sign for Gentry Farm. There's a new traffic light there.

On most Sundays, we ride out Boyd Mill and then take the tough climb up Parker Branch. At the end of that road, various groups form for different distances and routes. It is easy to do a 25- or 30-mile route, although most regular riders will add miles along the way. Sometimes we start on the Old Pancake route over to Leipers Fork. At the start we will establish the approximate distance that various groups intend to ride. Many riders will do a 50- or 60-mile ride, improvising the route as they go along. We are trying to be a bit more organized for the longer routes and often will send a suggested route before Sunday. And sometimes we do something entirely different!
