Dear AdventuRiders,
I'm running out of superlatives for the weather we have been having lately. How does SUNNY mid 50s when we leave and SUNNY and mid 60s when we return sound? It's not supposed to be as windy as Monday either with just a light breeze from the North.
Lunch will be at Marcus P's Diner Plus in Greenville.
On Wednesday, September 25th -Townsend Center to Greenville
The ride will be about 25 miles and 1050 feet vertical with a category 3 hill (5 miles long, but not real steep) getting up to the plateau, but then its rolling hills and beautiful distant views. After lunch at Marcus P's Diner Plus, we have a cat 5 hill (easiest category). Its all on road, but there are a few gravel / dirt roads on the way. I plan to bring my road bike, or at least my road bike tires.
- The Exploration Ride will leave at 9:30 AM.
- We should return by 2:30 PM.
- Starting Point Map - Townsend Center.
- Route Map - Townsend - Greenville - On Road.
- Distance = 25 miles.
- Elevation Gain = 1050 feet (challenging).
- Unpaved = 1 mile
- Equipment - Any sturdy, well maintained bike will work. I am bringing my road bike.
Hope to see you there,
Bill and Carole
