Saturday August 23rd, 2025 we roll out at 8am. We are looking for two SAG drivers on Saturday and one sag driver on Sunday, please private message me if you wish to volunteer.Last year there was a bridge closure I will study that and make an update for the route. Water stop will be in Parklands at Turkey Run Park. Our lunch stop with sandwiches, snacks and fruit will be set up by 11am in Fairfield KY at St. Michael's Catholic Church parking area.
From there the two routes split off. 100 mile riders roll thru Bloomfield, Chaplin, Willisburg, Springfield and up the infamous Pottershop road with the last 3 climbs. The 55 mile riders will have just 11 miles to go to the hotel finishing line. Everyone is welcome to take in the Pottershop climb, but only the 100 mile route includes it.
POTTERSHOP PINS courtesy of Lynn Sigman Luking will be given away to every rider who tackles the climbs. Route from the Hotel to Pottershop and back is about 15mi, with 1730' of elevation: https://www.strava.com/routes/3253431742677271942
