Day Light Savings Time is here so moving back to Red Bank. Need to communicate a few changes given current construction work.

1. Taking a left at the end of Frontage due to RR crossing work. Right at Dayton Pike and then a right on Igou Ferry which puts us back on course.
2. We’ll bypass Green Pond and the Foot Washing church for a few weeks until the days get long enough to include. Instead we’ll take Miller Rd,  Card Rd to Day Pike, cross over and Loop Rd to get to the bottom of Hotwater. (see map)
3. It’s been reported that there is some road work on the 2nd turn on Levi Rd with some nasty gravel. No warning sign so be careful.
4. As always Elites will regroup at end of Selcer Rd before left on Dayton Pike, end of Frontage, and at the Bank at the bottom of climb. Play nice I’m sure there will be some new folks joining.

Finally “No Stop Ride” aka NSR will roll at 5:45 and follow the same course. To roll with the Elites you’ll have to present your authorized Elite membership card…

Watching the rain forecast again for Saturday. Will delay the rollout time to 9:30 from the old Falling Water Elementary parking lot for a classic Bubba route. Head north towards Soddy and continue on Back Valley to climb Leggett. We’ll return via Hendon, Lewis Chapel, and Poe Rds. 55 miles and 3,500 ft of climbing. Come prepared as there’s not any good store stops along the route.

Watch this site Saturday morning for rain updates.
