Pedalfest May 27th @1pm. Yes, that's Monday Memorial Day! Cost? ~FREE~ No Tshirts just a raffle - $5 a ticket
Same route as usual 22 or 32 miles to the Watauga Dam and back.
The ride starts at the Bonnie Kate Cafe' this year though.... we'll ride through the covered bridge over to the park and use the bike path to get started like we always do. When finished hang around for the Bonnie Kate Bike Bash @3pm with food and live music. Beer will be available for purchase too! This will be like a mini Blue Plum festival!

When: 5/18/13
Where: Meet in ETSU parking lot behind Knight’s
Time: Ride STARTS @ 7:30AM
Route: Simerly Creek Loop
Distance: 40+/- miles
Pace: Determined by group
Note: Present forecast shows good chance of rain Fri night, with lowest chance for Sat in the early AM, which is reason for 7:30 start. If roads are wet, but drying at start time, ride is on.

Disclaimer: Sat Group Ride (SGR) is NOT organized/sponsored by TCRC. The main purpose of SGR is to serve as training for riders who are interested in any/all of the following: racing, riding organized centuries fast, improving/maintaining fitness, or just enjoy suffering with others. Therefore, (with few exceptions) SGR is intended to be challenging in possibly 3 ways: terrain/distance/pace. While the entire ride will not be “race pace”, periods of the ride will be. Regrouping after climbs or hard efforts often occurs, but is not guaranteed. The group waiting for riders who puncture, have mechanicals or make unplanned stops (for fluids, etc) is not guaranteed. Except for riders new to this region, it’s assumed riders are familiar with the routes/area. If you’re not, either tell the group at the start or don’t get dropped. SGR is open to all riders and is not intended to accommodate any specific group (i.e. racers); however, an occasional request from ANY individual for a specific route or start time may be accommodated, but...is not guaranteed.

Holston Mtn ride is still on. If we encounter bad road conditions while climbing, due to yesterdays snow in higher elevations, we’ll turn around. Ride would still be 50+ miles.

Beginner ride tomorrow (Monday April 1)at Piney Flats! Looks like the weather is going to be nice for once. Forecast is sunny and 60 at ride time though it may get chilly before we finish. Remember to bring the appropriate clothing just in case. We'll try to get started at 5:45 so please be dressed and ready to go asap. This ride is an easy paced 18 mile ride, experienced riders are encouraged to attend to assist newer riders with learning the ropes: etiquette, pace lines, riding in a close pack just to name a few. No hammering please. This ride is a no-drop ride. -Alan Edited 03-31-2013 10:47 PM
