Nanci, Velvet, Allen and Chuck hanging out after barbecue
at
Tims Fast Nickel
Saturday December 23, Strays
will ride out from Tim's Fast Nickel on a ride around Newnans
Lake and
on the Gainesville Hawthorne Trail. This is a ride in the range
of 31-33 miles.
Meet at Tim's Fast Nickel at 9 am
for
an 9:15 departure. Tim says its ok to park on the
grass. Best bet, park along the fence at the west end of the grass
lot.
Ride speed range 2.5 - 46 mph, varying with
terrain.
Average speed in recent times has typically
been approaching 14
mph,
This ride is mostly flat, except for a couple of small
hills
near the Gainesville end of the GHT, and the moderate hills on
Kincaid Rd.
All of the hills will be in the first third of the ride.
Their will be a convenience store or rest room opportunity
about every 10 miles.
No pace lines, no wheel sucking, no racing, just a fun social
ride.
After the ride the hungry will eat Tim's
barbecue,
unless circumstances dictate otherwise. Bring a picnic blanket or a
chair
to eat lunch under the shade of the big tree. Tim is not being
allowed to
keep a standing setup for picnicking on the premises, but we are allowed to
provide our own.
Helmets are REQUIRED on all Strays rides,
mirrors recommended, headphones forbidden.
Safety protocols are always observed on Strays
rides
