Special Ride!
We have a special option this Sunday, thanks to Bruce Green and Jerry Franks. They will leave Westhaven at 7:00 for a 45-mile "Return of the Breakfast Sandwich Ride." Over half of those miles will be before the rest stop at mile 27 at Fox & Locke (formerly Puckett's) in Leipers Fork, so eat something light beforehand. This will be a fun and collegial ride! There are plenty of ways to add or reduce miles! Here's the cue sheet for this special route:

Regular Sunday Ride
We will also have the standard Sunday ride, leaving Westhaven at 8:00. 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!
