FREDONIA IX: Resurrection of The Warlock

Roll from old Signal Rd Kmart (now an Aldi) at 8:00.  80 miles, 8000 feet, 3.5 climbs.  Be afraid.   Be very afraid.

Primary TB ride the BubOne v2.5.   See Elite post.

For those with less time, roll from Falling Water at 8:30 for one of the routes washed out last week — climbing Retro or Brayton.    Brayton Mtn route linked below.   Retro route shaves it to like 50 miles.

Gonna be a scorcher for October this Sat and seein’ as how Bubba needs to get in some Okterberfest training he’ll roll early.    Roll at 8:00 from Unum.   (Those of us needing less will jump on around 8:25 at the Tif Bilo to shave 10 miles.)   Toe, Kelly’s Ferry to Cummings, down the stairs, over Ladd, up the good road of Sand and across the top, and then mix things up by descending to Trenton and coming back Creek Rd.     68 miles, 3800 feet.    Easy to short by turning on 299.   Real Oktoberfest training at UJ post-ride.

TB rolls at 8:30 from old Signal Rd Kmart (now the Aldi behind Burger King).   Head north, climb Montlake, down Hotwater, and then the may, lee Armstrong loop.  A metric.

Weatherman promises it will be a little cooler tomorrow but seein’ as how I don’t believe him TB will roll early to beat the heat.   Roll @ 8:00 from Unum.   Toe, 299, over Ladd to South Pitt (where we’ll pick up a bottle at Steady’s place for the pool party), refuel at the fireworks store, then the back road where Squeaky likes to swim, and back Cummings (up the stairs).     REMEMBER TO REGROUP ON 299 AFTER “TRUCK STOP HILL” OR I’LL SAY HURTFUL THINGS.    Should be a fairly fast route and back before 12.   66 miles, 3400 feet.    For Bubba’s who must get 4000 feet before they do a cannon ball into the pool, up Lookout to Sanders for 70 miles and 4000 feet.  (Yes, BubOne, we know you are.) 

Heat will be suffocating tomorrow so TB will get an early climb and then look for shade.   Roll at 8:30 from Unum.   Toe, Elder (with loop up top), Cummings, Murphy, then wind around to Creek Rd.   (Check the map – we’ve only done this a time or two.)   60 miles, 4000 feet.   Lunch at UJ.
