8am - Hillsboro Elementary School in Leipers Fork, 5412 Pinewood Road, Franklin, 37064
RJ's route this Saturday starts of with the regular climb up Garrisson to Foxes, then diverts north via North Lick, Walker Hill and Pewitt to cross the Harpeth at Fernvale. Then we take the steady climb through Caney Fork and Sleepy Hollow to reach the rest stop at Fairview. We then head south on the lumpy terrain of Deer ridge, Lampley and Shoals Branch before dropping down Oscar Green and rejoining North Lick Creek. We then swing through Bending Chestnut and Natchez Trace Road to drop down Robinson road to Boston, and from there back in on Leipers Creek Road. The long route is 49 miles, whilst the 42 mile short route turns off Bending Chestnut and uses Davis Hollow to reach Leipers Creek Road and so cuts off 6 miles. Both routes have the same rest stop at mile 22 and run together for the first 36 miles
The Collegial option will be the 42 mile route and will be led by Cathie Allanson at the regular 14 - 16 mph pace
Note: 8am start
