Group Rides

Sunday we will have a group MOUNTAIN bike ride at 713 at 1 pm.  We'll be doing a different route than normal so be prepared for about 20 miles or so.  FS 713 is located on Wayah Road approximately 2 miles from Loafer's Glory.  Look for red house or sign for "Larkin Cabins" and turn right onto FS 713. 

 

I know Ludwig mentioned coming mountain biking on Sunday, but there is normally a road ride from Franklin Fitness Center at 1pm on Sunday also.

 

Don't forget about Thursday's Urban Assault at 5:30 pm at the Macon County Library.  Be sure to bring lights!!
