Registration

Ride Leaders Dan Arkins, Mike Cooke and Jim Lott will be leading various Tuesday Night road rides this upcoming season. Rides are usually followed by a quick bite to eat at a local establishment for good laughs and cheers.

Route Description: 

How could you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

The Rorschach test on this route led me to the above lyrics (name the artist), but make no doubt about it...this route is difficult. With many hills, including monster inclines of 11 degree and 14.8 degree (Sanfordtown Road) varieties, will make things challenging. If that wasn't enough warning, there is a segment on Whortleberry Road which has a stretch of packed dirt/unpaved road traversing approximately 3/4 of a mile.  Post ride, please join us at the outdoor beer garden of Nod Hill Brewery for a well earned brewski and food truck eatery.

Start Time: 5:45pm

Skill Level: B

Asphalt Pace: B14 -16 mph average
