Ride for 8-23-08
Riders,
It's time to get some miles in before FOOTBALL gets here!!! Let's plan to "got the distance" this Saturday... We meet at New Spring parking lot and rollout promptly at 8AM. The ride is no less than about 43 miles, and more miles are available.

I'm not sure when this bike goes into production and will readily be available.. but the line forms behind "the godfather." Kinda looks like the bike George Jetson might ride?
Of note, we're looking for Griz. Rumor has it he took his family to up north for some serious hill climbs... then, we got a report coming out of the north Georgia mountains... there are many of us hoping there's not a connection between the two!!
So, are you in or out? What esle is there to do on an early Saturday morning?
See ya Saturday,
See ya Saturday,
here's a new twist on the ride for 8-30-08
Paris Mountain, Caesar's Head, Paris Mountain ride
When: Sat. Aug. 30th, 2008
Where: Meet at 7:00am at NewSpring parking lot (or 5-10 mins earlier).
Leave Anderson by 7:05-7:10, carpool to Cleveland Park in Greenville. Arrive at Cleveland Park
by 7:45 for roll out by 8:00am.
Distance: Probably 75-80 miles
Route: Leave Cleveland Park towards downtown and Main St. Take Main St up to Rutherford Rd,
left onto N. Pleasantburg to Piney Mountain Rd for the first climb over Paris Mtn. Then go
usual route over to Caesar's Head for the 6.2 mile climb to the top. Route then reverses
down CH, back over to PM, and then back down Main St. to CP.
This ride will be excellent training for your fall century, or if it's your first time, you can log it as a 3/4 century that you didn't have to pay an entry fee (of course, you won't be getting a T-shirt though). We will have several re-grouping points along the route, and we stay together for the entire ride (excluding climbs, which are at your own pace). We will also stop for refueling at the convenience store after descending Caesar's Head. Bring money, and at least 2 full bottles of fluids.
If you have any other questions or comments, please drop me a note. If you plan to join in the fun, let me know so I'll know who to expect. Thanks!
