About this event

We'll start from New Sharon Senior Center, 783 Butter & Egg Rd., Hazel Green, AL 35750 at 9:00 AM. 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.

My end of ride average speed for this route is typically 14-15 mph. You're always welcome to ride with me at my pace. A faster group is welcome to form but you should know the route. If there is interest, we can stop at Scott's Orchard mile 37.5 for a slushie.
