Saturday, Aug. 17 - 8:00 A.M. for all routes
Barlow's Bailey-Beechcroft-B.Dodson!
Hillsboro Elementary School in Leipers Fork, 5412 Pinewood Road, Franklin 37064

Saturday looks like an excellent day, and Bob and Michele Barlow have designed an excellent route for us!  The full route is 54 miles, with a short option of 34 miles.  Both routes stay together to the rest stop at the Burwood store at mile 18, checking out the fine new pavement on Sedberry along the way.  From there, the short route takes Johnson Hollow and Robinson over to Bending Chestnut on the way home.  Meanwhile, the long route goes south for the fun run down Doc Robinson, Beechcroft, and Cleborne.  However, then we'll be challenged to climb up to Theta the hard way!  That's followed by the nice descent on Sulphur Springs, which will have been earned!  Then the route does Davis Hollow in the uphill direction, which allows us to go down Wilkins Branch at the end!.

We continue our Saturday Collegial Ride option, which will also start at 8:00.  This ride is again drawing very nice turnouts.  The ride takes a shorter course for those who like to proceed at a bit calmer pace, led by experienced leaders who make sure everyone is on course, and with regrouping when appropriate.  This Saturday Amy Crownover will lead the Collegial option at a 14-16 mph pace on the 34-mile short course.
