Bub One led a good ride last week, so we are going to let him try again this week. This time it is an adventure up Stage Coach Road near South Pittsburg. The ride starts from Haletown rolling at 8:30 EDT. About a 25 minute drive from downtown Chattanooga. There should be parking by the boat ramp at the former Anchor Inn site. https://goo.gl/maps/P5aWJxfM6dR2oxXV7
Lunch afterwards at Succotash. No stores between Miles 20-52 so plan accordingly. At one time, Orme Mountain Church of God (Mile 45.2) had a water spigot, but that’s all.
