Title: Gurley, Sharps Cove, County Lake Ride

Distance: 52 miles

Start Location: Gurley City Park, Gurley, AL (NEXT to the library - 225 Walker St)

Date & Start Time: Saturday, 21 Jul @ 7:30 AM

Ride Leader: Hunter Chockley, chockleyj@bellsouth.net, 256 527-8643

Description:This is a roller coaster moderate 52-mile ride that meanders Gurley then to Berry Hollow, the loop near Smith Lake, Sharps Cove, and then Madison County Lake. The expected average pace is ~15ish and cumulative climb for the route is ~2180 ft. There are no mountain climbs just lots of rollers and hills. This ride will certainly warm up your legs.

Rest Stops: Maysville Store ~22 miles, and Madison County Lake @ ~40 miles

The cue sheet and map link for the 51-mile route is: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/15409127 .

I will be watching the weather forecast.

Bring a cue sheet/map and/or loaded navigational device and have the phone number of the Ride Leader and the phone number of at least one friend.

Again this ride has a bunch of hills/rollers, but no mountain climb so be sure you can do the distance at the stated average pace.

If you choose to ride at a much faster pace than the Ride Leader or deviate from the route, then you are on your own.
