About this event
Start New Sharon Senior Center, 775 Butter & Egg Rd, Hazel Green, AL 35750. The first 42 miles are part of the AYCE 70 mile route northern loop. Rest stops at Kirkland Grocery 11.9 miles and Dollar General in Taft at 31.4 miles. Neither store at the rest stops will allow you to use their bathroom. CAUTION, there is a fast, steep descent on Red Hill Road at 14.8 miles and watch for increased traffic on the Old Railroad Bed climb into Taft at 30 miles. Generally, good roads and low traffic, but as always remain traffic aware.
Generally, riders are expected to stay together and watch out for each other. A faster group is welcome to form but know the route. Cell phone coverage is spotty to non-existent. My pace is 14-15 mph but faster on flats and slower on climbs. You're always welcome to ride with me at my pace.
