Jacket wants a pre-Hincapie look at Sequatchie Mtn and seein’ as how he can’t remember his home phone number when he gets in trouble we figure we shouldn’t leave him alone.   Roll at 8:30 from the old Tiftonia BiLo (corner of Cummings and Browns Ferry).    (No reps from me about where you should park – I believe there’s an old school or something down Kelly Ferry that may be an option.   The old BiLo lot may also be an option although the shops folks there may complain.)  Out Cummings, down the stairs, East Valley to Valley View, and up Sequatchie Mtn.    A metric and 4500 feet with lots of ways to short it.    (Those numbers are deceiving:  this one will hurt.)      Count on one refueling stop at the Bait Shop (probably on the way back.)

When Boss is gone, T-Rex leads. Roll from Unum at 9am for the traditional 3S3M metric course. Up Suck, through the valley, Shellmound, and back via 299 (can only do this when Jay is out of town). Lunch at the UJ.

Weatherman is stoopid.  Roll Sun @ 2:00 from old signal rd Kmart.  Up Montlake, down hot water and back.  Yes Steady, it is less than ‘half a hundred.’  46 miles, 2700 feet.  We’ll keep it moving and lots of ways to short it.

 

from the old Signal Rd. Kmart. North, climb Montlake, down Hotwater and back.  Yes Steady, it’s less than ‘half a hundred.’  46 miles 2700 feet.  We’ll keep it moving and lots of ways to short it if you have less time.

 

Roll from St Elmo Food City at 10:00.   We’re pushing the rain so check the website for start delays!  We’ll jet down to the cove, up Daughtery, turn and back down, and ride the Hog to mix things up on the way back.   65 miles. 3200 feet.   Post-ride lunch at Zorro’s.

Looking like rain all day. If you must get a ride in, the hearty will meet at Unum at 9am and figure out where and for how long they’ll ride.

Roll at 9:30 from Unum.   (It will be in the low 40s but warming quickly.)  Sorta like Halley’s Comet, we only spot Monster (known to newer Bubbas only as SpeedBump) every 75 years or so and seeing him at Twilight Tuesday made us want to do his birthday ride which we did in like 1845.    (We have no idea when his birthday actually is so no presents required.)   Out 299, over Ladd, across the blue (or is it green bridge) to South Pitt, past Steady’s liquor store, to Jasper and then the Valley View raceway and up Suck.   (Folks promised Tuesday to take it easy but we know how that will turn out.)    70 miles and we’ll keep it moving with a few regroupings and refueling in South Pitt.
