I saw where Cbost posted something about the Hot 100 bikeride.  Is there a link for it?

Here is one in Lebanon that I may do on the 16th.

31 mile and 51 mile options.

 

Feel free to post up any August bike rides!

The Hot 100 is supported by the Murfreesboro Bike Club.  See attached link

http://www.mborobike.com/index.php

If you can stand the heat, this is a very nice ride.  The terrain is rolling (similar to Chicken Pike at Lebanon) but there are also some steep hills that will really sap the strength out of your legs.

The course this year avoids some of the rougher roads that created some complaints on last years route.

I'll be there this year, but will be supporting the ride running SAG.

Yep when I lived in the boro I was a member of the club and did several of the routes and they will really get you on some of the hills. But its gorgeous and awesome sag and aid stations.

I'm a little new to the group ride thing.  Do they allow bikes with aerobars?  I presume I can just call each event that I'll participate in and ask.  I've heard many of the group rides don't allow aerobars due to the "twitchiness" in handling.  I'm getting some installed on my road bike today.

Aerobars are allowed.  However, if your going to ride in a pace line, most folks prefer that you stay out of the drops. Be sure to bring your helmet.

I never ride w/o a helmet; even to the neighborhood tennis courts and pool.

I may do the hot-100.  Something came up on my schedule for the 16th which will knock out the Wilson County ride.

I'm registered for the metric century for the Hot-100.

Who else is riding?

Absolutely looking forward to it!

I did about 80 miles of the Hot 100 last Saturday with some friends.   As I told Chris, bring an airhorn with you after you go thru Woodbury.  Lots of dogs...

Its a good ride, lots of rollers.

I am not sure what I am doing yet. Maybe 66, but I don't think I will do the full century. I have decided I want to do Cure On Wheels in September instead.

Thanks for the link.  I didn't know it was a women's only ride, but I'll pass the link around.  I'll  be doing Old Hickory Lakes tri that day anyway.

Great cause!  My stepmother of almost years is a survivor (diagnosed in 1985).

Don't know if anyone tomorrow will be in BT gear, but I'll be in team Biker's Choice jersey; red, white, blue'ish on a light blue/gray Giant with aerobars.  Looking forward to it!

Had a great metric today at the Hot-100!  Ride time was 4:20.  Weather was fantastic for August!  Nice meeting you Jessica and Andrew!  Good to see you again Chris!  Hope you did well on the 100!

There is another century ride on Sept 20th in Clarksville, suppossed to be a lot easier than Hot 100.  I am thinking about it.
