TB Ride and Lake Party Sat. 8/10

Howdy Bubbas,
Please see below from Sam-I-Am about this weekend’s ride and lake party. Sam and his in-laws are being very generous, so please follow the instructions! Note that we have shortened the route slightly from what was previously sent out.

When: 9:00 a.m.
Where: 3922 Windward Lane, Soddy Daisy, TN
Stats: 55.7 miles and 4,156 ft
Store stop: mile 28.6

From Sam-I-Am:

9am roll to accommodate “out of town” start, shorter route down Hotwater, so we have plenty of time and energy for festivities (basically, just sitting around eating and drinking beer)

Dogs, burgers, and sides post-ride, but BYOB. Let me know if you plan on coming, so we can have enough food (text or email Sam “Sam-I-Am” Dean). Thank you to those who have already let me know. Spouses/family/friends are welcome, just let me know.
Lake activities post-ride. Bring a towel and swimsuit if you want to participate in getting wet. Life jackets for kids 12 and under on the dock/boat (water is deep on the dock).

Do NOT park in the Cul de Sac and do NOT block driveways. I will be out there to help with parking, but park on the right side of the street on Windjammer Dr where there are no houses.

Big thanks to my in-laws for hosting us; try to behave so they have us back and don’t kick me out of the family… don’t make this into a story that gets brought up every year during the holidays… please
