Start: New Sharon Senior Center, 783 Butter & Egg Rd., Hazel Green, AL 35750*
Ride Leader: Sam Fara


Rest stops will be at Kirkland Grocery 10.9 miles and Camargo Church of Christ 27.1 miles. Note that Kirkland Grocery no longer allows use of their restroom. This is a scenic route into the Coldwater Creek area and includes a fun descent of McDeal Road, plus the always beautiful Molino Road. We'll climb Poorhouse Road followed by the Slaterock Mill Road climb and a fun Coldwater Creek descent. We'll exit Coldwater by climbing Ballard Hollow Road on our way back to New Sharon. Two stops with opportunities to get lucky and win the big jackpot.

Hammering generally discouraged with some exceptions.
Two groups to accommodate faster riders.
