SCCC Spring Tune-up at the Paint Rock Valley Lodge

April 1 & 2

Join us for a weekend of cycling and fun at Paint Rock Valley Lodge in Estillfork, AL about 45 mins from Huntsville.  Secluded deep in the hills and valleys on County Road 9, the lodge is home to a unique collection of rustic decor, much of which comes from a bygone era.   The walls of the ground floor of the facility are filled corner to corner with antique fishing gear, signs, advertisements and other memorabilia reminiscent of the past.

 We will have both short (30- 44 mile) and long (62-70 mile) rides on both Saturday and Sunday.  The short rides will stay in the Paint Rock Valley while the longer ride on Saturday will climb out of the Valley up to Skyline Mountain.

Rides will start at 10 AM on Saturday and 9 AM on Sunday
