Sylaward Trail Ride Sat 6/26 8am

Billy Beane asked me to get out notice of a group of mountain bike riders coming down from Anniston to ride the Sylaward trail Saturday 6/26/10 starting at 8am. Billy has reserved a pavilion and has planned to have watermelon and snack foods. Everyone is invited to come. Some folks are bringing a picnic lunch. Everybody is welcome.

New Mountain Bike Trails planned...

Coldwater Mountain rises south of downtown, its forested slopes providing an emerald backdrop for much of Anniston’s cityscape.The peak normally remains in the background, but an enthusiastic local group and some excited outsiders are making plans that could make Coldwater the center of a massive recreational resource and a big tourist draw. Organizers from the Northeast Alabama Bicycle Club on Monday hosted representatives of the International Mountain Bicycling Association, giving them a tour on foot and by helicopter of the land they hope soon will be home to one of the largest mountain biking centers in the Southeast.

Perry said something about doing a 65 mile mountain bike ride sometime. Here is a proposed route inspired by by Race Across the Sky. We can't simulate riding at 10,000 to 12,000 feet but this would be a pretty good challenge for some of us (me). The Bing map doesn't include 2 miles along the Sylaward Trail to get us back to the start. When you include that, it should be pretty close to 65 miles.

West Georgia Flyers Century

The 2010 Blazing Saddles Century is our club's fourth annual century event. Last year was another success thanks to all the new and returning riders and sponsors---but of course we hope to make this year even better! Due to construction at the high school last year, we changed the venue for the start location, which resulted in some exciting new route changes. While we were able to keep them largely the same as in previous years, we were able to take advantage of some new freshly-paved roads along with some slight re-routes which kept the riders out of town and on the scenic backroads we all love best. As usual we will have SAG support, so if you find you've bitten off more than you can chew you can hitch a ride back to the start or the next rest stop, whichever you need.
