Map and Cue Sheet Update

The map and cue sheet for ride #1 one has been updated. The route has been changed to go to the end of Marbleton Road, adding 4 miles to the route.

Date Change

Ride #3 has been changed to Sunday, May 29th, so we don’t conflict with the Pedalfest in Elizabethton on the 28th. #3 will be the hardest of the three, so don’t go to hard at the Fest on Saturday.

Winters End is Here

We had another great turnout for the final WEFR, and it’s fitting that halfway through our ride we officially went from Winter to Spring. If you couldn’t make it, you missed a beautiful ride, springtime scenery (for those of us who actually were slow enough to see it), perfect temps, and camaraderie of other riders. The Jacob’s Century route has to be one of the most scenic rides around, unless you ride in the mountains. I’m thinking, if we do this next year, we will try to add a shorter loop within the longer ones for riders who don’t want to ride as far, and go at a more leisurely pace.

Thanks to everyone who rode, from the dirty 11 who showed up in 22 degree temps at #1 to the 30 or so who did the rest.

Cue Sheet Posted

Route # 3 cue sheet has been posted on the maps page. Note that the course map has also been modified from the original that was posted earlier in the week. A really big hill was taken out toward the end of the ride.

New roads include:

Old Stagecoach Road which removes a long section of Bowmantown Road.
Rocky Hollow Road circumnavigates Stuart Hill, but does not reduce the amount of climbing.

The route also turns off Greenwood onto Summit to avoid the relentless last three hills.
