So, Wednesday we'll be doing the Burningtown Loop but a different variation - we'll do the Fitness Center route, also the same route we did for the Cancer Benefit Ride. Follow the PINK arrows and we'll head out Rose Creek to 28 to Tellico. Unless, you brave souls want to try going over Saldeer Mtn???

SORBA Meeting Next Tuesday Night 7-8 and Work Party 7-12

We will have our next SORBA meeting next Tuesday as Scott Baste’s house. Meet at 5:30 to ride the Buckeye Branch trail. Then bring a dish for pot luck dinner which will be at 8:00. The work party will be at Coweeta Lab on Saturday 7-12. We will be meeting at Otto CafĂ© at 8:00 for some coffee and biscuits then going to the parking lot at approx 8:45 or so. Bring hand tools only. I would like to work on the “tunnel of love trail” and if we have enough people for two work parties, we should be able to work on the wheelbarrow trail as well.

Tuesday & Wednesday Group Road Ride

This Tuesday we will climb Standing Indian. We'll leave from Cartoogechay Baptist Church, just off 64W, at 5:30. Slower folks like me can leave a little earlier, and all you speed demons can leave a little later. That way, we all might get to the top at about the same time. We can come down as a group and finish with a paceline.  See you there. Call me with any ?'s   4210460    Gus
 
Wednesday Group Road Ride will be from S Macon Elementary School on Addington Bridge Road at 5:30pm.  We'll be doing the Patton Valley Loop.  For those folks who might be interested, we'll go to Monte Alban for dinner afterwards.  Hope to see everyone there.
