From the Harpeth Bike Club: Our Harpeth Club evening rides are ON for this and future weeks! we have resolved the contractual issues for both events and secured the necessary permits. As a result, we are all set to enjoy the great weather this week at our Track Celebration on Tuesday night.

Here are the details:
Tuesday, Oct. 3 - 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. -
The Track at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway
The Track opens this Tuesday night and will remain open each Tuesday throughout the fall, winter, and spring months, weather permitting. From 6:00 until 8:00, the Track will be available for riders of all levels.

Plus we will celebrate the opening of the Track with pizza and soft drinks supplied by the Harpeth Club. There will also be a special program for kids younger than 14, who are invited to ride on the inner track. We hope to have a large turnout of members, prospective members, visitors from our nearby clubs, and our amazing adaptive athletes! In the interests of safety, please pass through the big gate and park in the rear instead of at the front entrance.

Everyone is invited to enjoy the Track with us on October 3, and we have extended an invitation to the Fogbees, Veloteers, and Murfreesboro Club. After that, the Track will be open to HBC members and one-time visitors on each Tuesday until May, weather permitting. In contrast to our other Club rides, we are compelled to limit the Track to HBC members because the Club is charged a handsome fee each time we use the Speedway.

As always, this is the HBC's most unique event, drawing large crowds of riders who can participate in a fast paceline or take it calmly in the outer lanes. All riders at the Track must strictly observe the rules for riding there, which are specifically designed to enhance the safety and enjoyment of all participants. Remember - Lane 1 is for those riding at 22 mph or faster, and Lane 2 is for those riding at 17 mph or faster. Slower riders should be in the outer lanes. In Lanes 1 and 2, ride on the line and pass only on the right. Please review and follow these rules carefully:
