Sunday, Jan. 7 - 10:00 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 into the parking lot.

We will continue riding from Westhaven in the cooler weather.  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 traffic light at that intersection.

In light of the cold overnight, we're starting the ride at 10:00.  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.  Many riders usually go over to Fox's Market via Hargrove, Pinewood, and Bending Chestnut for about 40 miles.  Other riders will do a longer ride, usually about 50 miles, if conditions are favorable.  Here's a suggested 53-mile route that turns right from Parker Branch onto Old 96 and takes Cumberland to Fairview for a rest stop.  On the way home it takes Sleepy Hollow, the fun run down Pewitt, and the climb on Hester Beasley!  Here are the map and cue sheet:
