Saturday, Oct. 5 - 8:00 A.M. - Hillsboro Elementary School in Leipers Fork, 5412 Pinewood Rd. - Jim's Jagged Jaunt! - For Saturday, Jim Mitchell will lead us through some of his favorite roads southwest of Franklin.  There are options of 30, 45, and a metric century (62 miles), with all routes concurrent for the first 16 miles and the medium and long routes the same until mile 23.  There are no planned rest stops for the short route and only one planned rest stop at the Fly General Store for the medium route (at mile 24) and long route (at mile 42).

All routes begin with the climb up Garrison, around Bending Chestnut and Pinewood, down Oscar Green, and around Greenbriar Hill.  The short route then makes the climb up Doug Thompson and returns via Old Natchez and Leipers Creek while the medium and long routes continue around S. Lick Creek and up Tom Rail.  The medium route then cuts over on Hwy 7 to the rest stop at Fly's Store while the long route continues a jaunt to the south with short climbs along Jones Valley, Water Valley and Fly Road.  The two longer routes rejoin at Fly's Store to follow Leipers Creek, up and down Mobley's Cut and Robinson, up and down Bear Creek, and return via the fresh pavement on Bailey.
