12/27/08 Thru 01/01/2009 Bike Rides

I won't be riding this Saturday the 27th. I hope to make Sunday's 1:30 ride from Madison Creek.

If anyone is interested in riding Monday or Tuesday, let me know. I plan to ride at least one of those days.

01/01/2009 is the annual
"Frozen Toes New Years Day Ride".
........Start Time is 10:00 A.M........

This time Joey is planning some changes. Instead of Castalian Springs, we'll meet this year at Bethpage to start the ride. Specifically, meet at the Castalian Springs/Bethpage Utility District office located at the corner of Hwy 31E and Mount Vernon Road. The utility district office has a spacious parking lot that will not be in use on New Year's Day. This location is directly across the road from the market that we've used for parking or a refreshment stop on many occasions.

Joey mapped routes of 30 and 44 miles. Below are links to those routes. There will be opportunities for refreshment stops at Eulia and Westmoreland.

44-mile Route:

12/06/08 Bike Ride

I will not be riding this week end, but I would like you to join me in the upcomming "Tour the Cure" for the American Diabetes Association.
It will be on MAY 30th in Springfield, TN. I have started a team under the name of "SUMNER RIDES". I went to a meeting and the chef plans to have a fantastic after the ride meal. It also sounds like a new route that all can enjoy.

Please sign up with the SUMNER RIDES team at http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TDC194308030/1188908748?pg=team&fr_id=5587&team_id=340028

If you register before December 31, 2008, they will waive the registration fee and offer you a free long-sleeved Tour de Cure training shirt, but you have to use the PROMO CODE: Cycle, make sure you use a capital on C only). After 2008, your registration fee will be $25.00

Let's make this a great ride!
