Chattanooga, TN
Approximately 40 winter-pace miles in Chattanooga Valley. We’ll pick a route in the morning. Meet at the St. Elmo Food City at 10 am.
We’ll talk about Fish (who has announced his retirement from organization of Elite rides) and how much we appreciated his posting of Saturday rides and maps.
Will roll with TB from St Elmo Food City at 10:30 for this fun ride over the toe and then out Cash Canyon Road. Only 29.5 miles.
For those that are willing to brave the potential rain, we’ve got 2 options.
Nothing official for 12/21 & 12/28. Keep an eye out for some casual rides posted via email. Enjoy the holidays!
Elites will roll with TB at 9am from the St Elmo Food City, but take a shortcut at mile 14.8 by bearing left on Friendship. Hard left on Boss Rd. at mile 16.1 will put you back on the TB route that rolls through Chickamauga and back through the Battlefield. See map for details 41 miles.
Elites, plan on a loosely organized ride that will depart from Whole Foods at 9:30 (park in the far back corner). Start with the north Chattanooga Hillz and then head north for a Browntown/Levi loop. Boss will take charge and here’s a rough map of the route. However, the main detail is that the ride will conclude with lunch at Mike’s Hole in the Wall.
Big Ralph will be leading the ride tomorrow. Roll from the Soddy Ball Fields at 9:30. Roll up Retro Hughes and down Leggett for a 38 mile loop.
Elites, still want some Bluegrass but without a climb? Roll from Manor House at Mtn Cove Farms at 9am but head north for the Hog Jowl/Kensington/Marble Top/Cove Rd Loop. Just under 40 miles. See map. Also the Gravel option is a good one too.
A lot of Elites out this weekend but King will lead this one. Roll with TB from Red Bank Elementary at 8:30 and chase them until mile 23 where Elite’s will take a left on Hixson Pike when TB turns right. Return via the Soddy Ball Fields. 44.2 miles with no climb.
Roll from Powell’s Crossroads at approximately 9:15 EDT (when TB rolls by) for Freddy Lite.
