Greenbriar, Gaskill & Gordon
Hillsboro Elementary School in Leipers Fork, 5412 Pinewood Road, Franklin, 37064
9am start
If the storms stay away on Saturday, Fearless Leader will lead maneuvers down to Santa Fe and back via some of our favorite climbs and descents. After stretching our legs on Garrisson, we'll take Greenbriar and then follow South Lick Creek to it's end, before climbing Tom Rail and Gordon Lawrence Road over to Hwy 7. From there we run parallel Hwy 7 to the rest stop at Santa Fe (mile 24). We head back via Gaskill Branch and the whole of Chestnut Ridge (be alert for dogs) before dropping down Sulphur Springs and enjoying the fast run in on Leipers Creek Road
We've had good reports of the Santa Fe Diner (just opposite the gas station stop) so that could be an option if you fancy a more relaxed rest stop
There is a shorter 37 mile option which stays with the long route until mile 22, before heading back east. The short route has no rest stop although there is the Davis Store at Boston if you need an emergency snack to survive the last 4 miles!
