We will have three ride groups, beginner/children (4 – 8 miles, intermediate (10 – 15 miles) and expert (20 – 25 miles). We look forward to seeing you!!

This event is being organized by our very own Jonathon Laroy to raise some money for trails in the upstate. It is also a good opportunity to get out and experience Dupont under the direction of a tour guide. If you have ever looked at a map, the place has a few turns. I will be taking the boy up Friday night to camp and hitting the trail head on Saturday to meet up for the beginner or intermediate ride. If anyone is interested let me know.

Spring Century

Hello all!

One of my clients is fairly new to cycling.  He's been training well over the winter and shed some serious weight.  His #1 goal, though, is to ride a century... in under 6 hours... this spring.  He's already enlisted a few friends to ride support and to help him cut the through the wind - a solo century is not only tough, but boring.

We haven't picked out a venue, yet, and here's where I need your help!  Does anyone know of any a century rides (100-110 miles) that take place this spring? - preferably located in the upstate (he doesn't want it to be SO easy as the flat lands of Charleston, but he also doesn't have the desire to climb Mt. Mitchell yet).

If there aren't any, then I'm going to make one... and maybe we can make it the HBW Team ride for 2010.  The more the merrier!

Thoughts on that?

(P.S.  I'm in pretty bad form myself, so this is going to help me prepare and get back into shape, too!)
