WEEKLY RIVER ROAD RIDE

Hello Sharon. You don't happen to sing in the praise and worship group at this new church your attending do you?

 

That would be an Affirmative - do I know who you are?

 

I don't know. You a tall very attractive kinda slender young lady with a pretty smile.maybe close to middle age but not quite ready to go the full blown middle age hairdo yet? With glasses?

 

I think that probably answered all my questions..lol

 

Hey Buddy, is that for a ride or just for the ladies?
I am in the same boat as Sharon on the sunday rides..Even when i was on my expedition, every wednsday and every sunday i started looking for a church to visit..But since we are so close i could probably do a few hours pretty much anytime you like...

 

Gene,

That is for everybody. My numbers are listed right here
and we can get a ride together most any time. I don't
work, or that's what Mary says. Hmmm....oh well, that
gives me plenty of time to ride bicycles....what a life.

 

Great! like i said i am here in dandridge so not a big deal to come up there.
Well.....Actually right now i am kinda up to my asscot in alligators.. but i think i can see the shore line..how long is that drive anyway...about an hour if i remember rightly...may remind my pastor that God created the heavens and earth in 6 days i am sure he can say what he has to say in 45 minuts..lol and if i load Jezzy up saturday evening i might be able to do a coupl 3 hours between services on sunday...

 

But now this Sunday at 8a, we are doing the River Road
down to Townsend. Bill needs to give directions down that
way from Dandridge.

Call me and we can ride the Tusculum trail just for fun.
That is exit 23 on I-81 to Greeneville.

 

OK, so why do I get this feeling of impending doom? It's looking like a big crowd and I've got no legs whatsoever...I'm going to get stuck out on a limb by myself in the middle of nowhere. What are the hills like on this ride?

 

Hey, you ride my trail, you ride this trail. This trail
flat compared to my trail.

 

I might be interested in going along. Haven't been to River Road in a long time, and even longer with a group. Would be like "Old Times." Remember the time I shot a Rocket Riders group picture, and there were so many of us that the camera had to be set up across the road from the gravel parking lot? Those were the days...

Dave

 

Well, if the weather holds, and everyone who says their coming will actually show we may have a pretty good sized group. That would be soo sweet!.

 

Looks like with our church group we have a potential 11 riders.

As I have stated before this is a medium paced group and I don't have any doubts that all of you will be able to keep pace. For those of you who are not confident, keep in mind there are a lot of beginners in this group so there will be somebody to ride with.
No fear about terrain. This is a level to rolling ride but very beautiful as it goes along the Little River and ends inside Smoky National Park. There are bathrooms at three places along the ride. Be prepared to go the first half typically with only one stop at the 9 mile mark.

We may show up with the tandem with the new seats. This should be interesting. See you there.

Does anybody need directions?

Bill

 

I can bring my trailer. Its got seats in it..lol

 

It does not actually matter to me at this point cuz it doan look like I can make this one; but where are those directions someone was pos'd ta post?
