The race starts at 8:00 P.M. @ Centennial Park. The team is going to have a pre-race gathering at U.S. Border Cantina (29th Ave. N) at 6:00 P.M.<br /><br />To participate in the race team, I recommend that you have the following functional items: bicycle, front and rear lights, helmet, and clothing (optional).<br /><br />This is for fun. Please do not take race team concept too seriously :)<br /><br />If you can't make the race, feel free to stop by U.S. Border Cantina for drinks, dinner, autographs, team photos, etc.<br /><br />Race information is available at <a href="http://fixedgearnashville.blogspot.com/">http://fixedgearnashville.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Email me if you have any questions.JVChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01182111526380108116noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141784694506209518.post-31792013360595317762008-08-27T09:50:00.000-07:002008-08-27T09:53:20.576-07:00September 8th, 2008 at 6:00 p.m.The Jim Benson Memorial Bicycle Ride<br />10 – 12 mile loop starting at Siegel High School, Murfreesboro, TN<br /><br />All riders of any experience level are encouraged to attend.

Most bikers usually park their wheels across the street in front of the post office.<br /><br />Hang out for a while, have conversations, consume food and beverages, listen to <a href="http://www.tomatoartfest.com/livemusic.html">live music</a>, people watch and then cruise through East Nashille/Shelby Bottoms at a leisurely pace (horrid!).This festival was a lot of fun last year.

By the time Sunday afternoon rolls around I'm ready for R & R rather than suffer the mid-afternoon heat. I plan to resume the Sunday Ride when temperatures are milder and there are not so many other cycling related events going on.<br /><br />If you are looking for adventure:<br /><br />There is an Alley Cat race Saturday night (July 19). Meet on the south side of Centennial Park at 8:00 P.M. I assume that is along West End Ave. (Those are all the details that I have. Sorry.)<br /><br />Ride Safely !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JVChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01182111526380108116noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141784694506209518.post-68479387665151526472008-06-25T05:55:00.000-07:002008-12-09T19:11:50.120-08:00The Return to Innocence Ride - June 29<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioXOvR-x2yYBnBuOhn9UOAdQwnNTY1fMkwF1CJj4OBh9eq_O29lsNPXJT2_1XwJXfzPJJaA_JI54XAVAtDyb69pTzsdPtqejJBV4ZLbicchCyeB6Aw4JY9sjG6Xew6B_Za1CBktnI_hfA/s1600-h/kids+photo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215817923548625042" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioXOvR-x2yYBnBuOhn9UOAdQwnNTY1fMkwF1CJj4OBh9eq_O29lsNPXJT2_1XwJXfzPJJaA_JI54XAVAtDyb69pTzsdPtqejJBV4ZLbicchCyeB6Aw4JY9sjG6Xew6B_Za1CBktnI_hfA/s320/kids+photo.jpg" border="0" /></a> Revisit the time long before the terms spandex, heart rate, cadence and average speed were a part of your everyday vocabulary.<br /><div><br /><div>Leave the team kit at home and enjoy a leisurely social ride to yesteryear !!!</div><div>............................................</div><div><strong>When:</strong> Sunday, June 29</div><div><strong>Time:</strong> Ride starts at 1:00 P.M.</div><div><strong>Where:</strong> Centennial Park (in the parking area along 25<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span></span> Avenue North across from the Centennial <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Sportsplex</span></span>).
