Ride tomorrow: Weather.com forecasts 39 degrees at 11:00AM, with 15 mph winds. Not ideal weather for southern fair-weather cyclists (of which I am one!). However the sun should be out, so that will help.
Suggestions for driving from Charlotte: Take I-77 south to exit #82-A - US-21 South / Cherry Road toward Rock Hill. Go appx 5 miles; changes to hwy 322 (McConnells Hwy). Continue appx 9 miles, turn left on Brattonsville Rd. Start/Finish should be in the next mile.
This is shorter and quicker than hwy 321 through Gastonia.
VV- Please stop by the bike shop in the morning and get some leg warmers; your knees will thank you, and they will last for years!
Hope to see you all there, as I don't want to ride alone.
