Description: Scenic ride into the Coldwater Creek area of Tennessee with moderate climbs of Poorhouse Road, Slaterock Mill Road and Clay Jones. We will do a quick regrouping stop after climbs as needed. We will take a full rest stop at Kirkland Grocery 28.4 miles. Bring enough hydration and food until we get to the rest stop in Kirkland. CAUTION, we will be in rural areas and some road surfaces will be rough. Traffic is generally light but subject to change at any time. Remain traffic aware.
Expectations: Please make sure you are familiar with the route. Bring a cue sheet and/or navigational device and have the phone numbers of the Ride Leader and the phone number of at least one friend. Be aware that cell phone service can be spotty. Text message may be the best way to communicate during the ride.
Expected end of ride speed is 14-15 mph but faster on flats and slower on climbs. Generally, riders are expected to stay together and watch out for each other. Be confident you can do the stated speed and distance.
If you choose to ride at a much faster speed than the desired average speed or choose to deviate from the route, you are on your own.
