Another cold day ride but no rain and if we delay it until 11:00 the feels like temperature will be in the low 50s so let’s ride! It will still be cold so dress appropriately. I will not be leading this ride but Tom or Tracy will enforce the pace. This ride is usually 19-20 mph so come out and enjoy the SOUTHERN VELO-ship. If you want to bring a guest that is fine too just make sure they are comfortable in group rides and can hold the average pace advertised. Our main goal is to ensure everyone stays together and if someone falls off the back, sweepers are encouraged to bring them back to the group. We will also wait at stop signs to regroup as well if needed.
The Garmin routes are posted below and the 40 is the same as the 50 mile route with the exception of a turn on Keith Valley at around mile 31 so download the route you plan to ride and use it to call out turns so everyone is on the same page.
I have also added a metric ride which will tack another 10 miles on the 52 miler so you can collect your metric badge, ya bunch of overachievers!
The parking area for this ride is between the Cohutta Mason Lodge and the Cohutta First Baptist Church parking lots we cannot park at the tennis court parking lot on Windwalker anymore.
