Early Spring Ride 3-8-08- Let's Get a Group to Go!

Howdy- For all of you looking for a fun filled weekend and a late winter/early spring training ride get on board for the Wheels of Fire Century (25-45-68-101 are your choices) down at beautiful Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Ga. Lots of activities planned and the ride is a fund raiser for Harris County Volunteer Fire Dept.
I have a ride entry form if you need one. You can call Callaway (1-800-225-5292) and ask for the Wheels of Fire Package. I'm taking 2 of the women of Way and myself and room and breakfast (full buffet) is $134.00 (less for smaller parties). If you have ever been to Callaway you know it's a beautiful place with lots to see and do before and after the ride (very nature oriented activities) Checkout their website at www.callawaygardens.com
The ride is a very scenic one going through FDR State Park and Warm Springs, GA (Little White House) along with several other small towns and countryside. Is the ride hilly? Just the Century with 6900 ft. of climbing, other routes are rolling.
So come and join the fun. Contact me for an entry form, save $5 if mailed before Feb. 1st. ($35) which includes t-shirt, goody bag, tour map, breakfast, SAG, shower facities, spaghetti dinner, 11 rest stops and Sat. nights Sweets Party at Callaway.
Contact me for more info/entry form.

Hi Everyone!

I hope that we can get a big crowd to go to this event. It will be my first attempt at a century. What better way to break through this goal than with my fellow club members and friends. George H. would be an added bonus!

Cary has offered to ride with me...anyone else?

Still Steve

Re: Early Spring Ride 3-8-08- Let's Get a Group to Go!/We are off!

Well 4 of us are headed to this ride on Sat. I will post a report on our return.
The 4 are Larry and Martha(tandem-62 miles), Steve C. and Cary (102 miles).
It will be chilly there so keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate the mountains and hills on the ride.
Cheers- Cary
