What a great turnout and ride we had today!  Thanks to Tony Pile for designing the course, diligently checking it out, and even posting warning signs at the steep descent at the end of CCC Road!  Sunday is looking a lot warmer!  And we'll have a SW wind!  Below is a suggested route for those who want to ride about 50 and be blown back home!  Start at Westhaven at 9:00!

Sunday, Feb. 5 - 9:00 A.M.
HBC Sunday Ride! 
Westhaven parking lot, 1025 Westhaven Blvd., Franklin 37064 - take Hwy. 96 west from Franklin, turn left on Westhaven Blvd. at the traffic light, veer right onto State Blvd., and then take the very first left

We will continue riding from Westhaven on Sundays during the off-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.  For those interested in a 50-miler, HBC Treasurer Dan Jensen is suggesting the route below.  It's a good one going out and should be fun coming home!
