Club and Sport Riding
Our club officers have been very busy organizing our Spring Series Event at Mt. Victory, but after March 22, they will begin to focus their efforts on sport cycling on our area. I think there is talk of putting on a bicycle tour of some kind by the end of the summer in the county. The time changes March 9, and we will begin to ride at Barnsburg again!  Last year was great because we had several groups that organized themselves.  I very much hope the same thing happens this year and I hope that the club / organization can help.

The Hardest Ride in Pulaski
Charles, Aaron, Adam and JT set out on a ride of unknown distance last Saturday. It was thought to be about 40 to 60 miles. The foursome left the Vision Center and headed south down Jarvis Avenue/Rush Branch Road, all knowing that the ride would probably end up being a bloodbath. They climbed to the top of Haynes Knob fairly well intact, and descended the back side of Haynes Knob on highway 1675 toward White Lilly. Still fairly well intact, with Charles climbing conservatively, Adam, Aaron and JT stopped on the top of the brutal Westleys Chaple Hill to remove unwanted clothing. Charles took the opportunity to steal a gap all the way to White Lilly School. At Highway 192, Charles, Adam and JT attacked the downhill toward Mt. Victory which made for some very fast and dynamic riding. Aaron descended to Buck Creek with much more sense than did the other three. Once across Buck Creek, the crew turned left on Providence Road (part of the race course) and with Charles still climbing conservatively, Aaron, JT and Adam climbed the Providence Hill together and once on top, they paced to keep Charles from coming up (they paid him back for running off over white Lilly). At the end of Providence Road, the route turned left on 1003 and it all came back together just before Cannon Ball Road. The Foursome turned left on Cannon Ball and Road all the way to Grundy and back to the Vision Center for the most difficult 40 mile ride any of us had ever ridden.
