Details:

This is an extension of the Nickel #4 ride leaving from Nicholasville.  We will be joining up with  them at the corner where Tates Creek and Jacks Creek meet..  We will climb Grizzard together and ride together back into Richmond.    SIgnin sheet  will be with me during the ride.  I leave it at  Mike's Hike and Bike for anyone that jumps over to the longer distance groups.  Stops will be available at Shell before Simpson Lane and at the Fort..


There are longer distance groups and faster paces that you can jump onto once we join the Nicholasville groups. Make sure and sign back in at Mike's or call me.
