Saturday morning was really wet, but Sunday is looking good!  We'll have the usual ride from Westhaven, with 40- and 50-mile options.  A suggested route for the long ride is below.

We will continue riding from Westhaven on Sundays during the Prime Season.  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.  There's a new traffic light there.

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.  At the start we will establish the approximate distance that various groups intend to ride.  Durk and Jerry usually take most riders over to Fox's market via Hargrove, Pinewood, and Bending Chestnut for about 40 miles.  Other riders will do a 50- or 60-mile ride.  Here's a suggested Long route for this Sunday.  It goes up Parker Branch, down Old 96, up Fernvale Road to Fairview, along CCC Road with the steep descent at the end, and then does Hester Beasley!

It's encouraging to welcome so many new riders to our club this season!
