Weekly Group Rides

Chuck & Susan Allen always hosts touring riders as they come through our area.  During the middle of August, a family of 5, will be coming to Franklin on a Quadricycle, traveling from KY.  Chuck will be out of town and is looking for someone to allow this family to "camp out" on their property, preferably with restrooms/showers available for the riders. If you are interested in helping this family or know of someone who is, please call Chuck at 371-0849.
 
GROUP RIDES   
 
Tuesday LADIES Group Road Ride this week will start at Macon Middle School on Wells Grove Road at 5:30pm.  We will ride out to Ellijay Road, via Wells Grove Road, Fulton Rd and Sugarfork and Ellijay.  We'll plan to ride to the waterfall but can always turn around whenever.  Ride will be approximately 16-18 miles with a 10-12 mph pace.  
 
Wednesday Group Road Ride this week will start at 5:30pm at Smoky Mountain Bicycles, we will be doing the Burningtown Loop.
 
Thursday Beginner Ride will be at 5:30 pm at TASSEE BRIDGE GREENWAY.  We'll be venturing out on the Wells Grove Road as we are preparing some folks to ride the 24 mile route of the Tour de Franklin in October... we will be doing approximately 16 - 18 miles this week.  We're stepping it up!       
 
Saturday Road Ride will be at 8am at S Macon Elementary and we will be doing the Patton Valley Loop.
 
We'll probably have a Group Mountain Bike Ride at Tsali in the upcoming weeks, maybe 8/23 or 8/30.  Let me know your thoughts on which Sunday might work better.  Have a great week!
