What an awesome weekend, especially considering the rest of this year!  Sunday is supposed to be almost as nice as today!  For those interested in a longer ride, Treasurer Dan suggests this favorite route:

Fairview-Hester-Old Trace - 48 miles - GPS

The Sunday ride for all options leaves from Westhaven at 8:00.

Sunday, Aug. 14 - 8:00 A.M.
HBC Sunday Ride
Westhaven parking lot, 1025 Westhaven Blvd., Franklin - take Hwy. 96 west from Franklin, turn left on Westhaven Blvd., veer right onto State Blvd., and then take the very first left. 

On Prime Season Sundays we will continue our rides from Westhaven.  Here is a map to guide you to the parking lot at Westhaven.  Westhaven Blvd. is directly across Hwy. 96 from the end of Old Charlotte at the big sign for Gentry Farm.

On most Sundays, we ride out Boyd Mill and then take the tough climb up Parker Branch.  At the end of that road, various groups form for different distances and routes.  It is easy to do a 25- or 30- mile route, although most regular riders will add miles along the way.  Sometimes we start on the Old Pancake route over to Leipers Fork.  At the start we will establish the approximate distance that various groups intend to ride.  Many riders will do a 50- or 60-mile ride, improvising the route as they go along.  We are trying to be a bit more organized for the longer routes and often will send a suggested route before Sunday.  And sometimes we do something entirely different!
