“Cabin Fever”. The routes will be clearly marked! (Apologies for 2011). If we get a forecast
showing sunshine Thursday thru Monday with temperatures above 55 degrees…
The ride is on!

riding to Lenoir City. The 58 mile route will cross the dam and the 22 milers will return
home via the dam overlook.
