Akin for Snow Creek + Fly Foray
Hillsboro Elementary School in Leipers Fork, 5412 Pinewood Road, Franklin, 37064
Join us this last Saturday of the off-season for an adventure on the west side with 51 and 38 mile options. Durk will take the long riders over to the very scenic Jones Valley and Akin Ridge on the rural borders of Maury and Hickman County before hitting Snow Creek, Santa Fe (rest stop at mile 34) and back to base on some more familiar roads. The shorter route cuts out the territory to the west of Hwy 7 and rejoins the main route at the rest stop. Both routes get to climb Godwin, take the fast descent on Skelly and the smooth 10 mile run in on Leipers Creek Road.
Our usual watering hole in this neck of the woods is the Santa Fe gas station where we overrun the forecourt with bikes and lycra and exchange pleasantries with the bemused locals. Assuming not much happens in Santa Fe, surely the highlight of their week!
The weather looks a bit mixed for the weekend. Hopefully, we can mark the end of the Polar Bear season with a dry and sunny ride
