About this event

When:

0900 Sunday, 4 January 2026

 

Where:

Charles Stone Park (255 Walker St, Gurley, AL) next to the Gurley City Hall

 

Route:
Sam's Do As I Say-No As I Do Ride - 34 Miles

Distance:

34 miles.

 

Objective:

Ride multiple steep, short, punchy climbs in a short distance.

 

Summary:

This a short ride (34 miles), but it has 1568 feet of climbing. Originally, it was a mid-week ride route that Drew led a few weeks ago, but I removed the rest stop and added a couple of new climbs to make up for not resting.  I expect that we should be done in 2.5 hours. Please carry as much food/water as appropriate.



Hammering generally discouraged with some exceptions.

Two groups to accommodate faster riders.

Meet at 9:00 am,

Charles Stone Park (255 Walker St, Gurley, AL) next to the Gurley City Hall
