Sat. 2/1

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.

This Saturday is looking pretty nice compared to the last few we have had, but it still won’t crack freezing until about 10:30. So, we will roll from St. Elmo Food City at 10:30 for a 42-mile ride through North Georgia. Post ride lunch at Tap House. There is no planned store stop, but there are options along the way.

When: 10:30 a.m.
Where: St. Elmo Food City
Stats: 42.5 miles and 2,191 ft

New Year’s Day 2025

Bubba will celebrate the new year with a ride featuring Atena Mountain Road (paved but still a pig trail) out of Whiteside, TN. Robert’s Mill has become too busy to take a big group up, but feel free to celebrate our old tradition on your own. Roll at 9:00 from St. Elmo Food City. The route goes: over the toe, out Creek Rd, over Morganville Ridge, down Murphy Hollow, up and down Atena Mtn Rd, and back via 299 and Old Wauhatchie. 38 miles and 2,900 ft. No planned store stop, but there are several stores on the route. The route is fully road bikeable, but use caution on the Atena Mtn descent.

 

When: 9:00 a.m. on Jan. 1st
Where: St. Elmo Food City
Stats: 38 miles and 2,900 ft

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.
