Red Boiling Springs October 25th, 26th, 27th

October 2024 ride to Red Boiling Springs with great friends, great routes, excellent food and good times is just around the corner. We will leave Gallatin on Friday October 25th, ride to Hartsville for lunch and then on to RBS for fun, fellowship, food and drink. Saturday 26th we will have a few local long and short routes planned, fellowship and dinner Saturday night, then ride back to Gallatin on Sunday. I know of one birthday we will celebrate. 

Mark and Kallay the inn keepers are excited and looking forward to having us back for another fun weekend. We have the entire hotel booked with 13 rooms. Currently I have the following rooms available: double bed (down stairs), double bed (up stairs), there is also a twin bed room (down stairs) if someone wanted to share and split a room, or if you don't mind a twin bed. I am holding one room for folks that will decide soon. But not to fear as there are other hotels in the area and just down the street so we can all still gather and fellowship on the front porch at the Armour's and enjoy Kallay's wonderful cooking. 

If you want to attend and enjoy three days of cycling with the FOGBEES, or two days or even one day please reach out to me as we have routes that can accommodate most everyone. For example if you want to ride from Gallatin to Hartsville and have lunch with us; there is a route. If you want to park in Hartsville and ride to RBS; there is a route, same on the returns. Saturday we will ride from the Hotel into Gainesboro and back, several routes available, 60+, 51, and a shorter route. Sunday we ride back to where we parked, Hartsville if you parked there or Gallatin.

This is a rain or shine ride, and many of us have rode it in all kinds of weather, makes for good conversation on the porch. This is always a fun weekend for the FOGBEES and their wives or significant other, if you are interested, give me a call at 615-572-5045, email me jerialwoodall@gmail.com, or catch me on a ride soon.

If you have never been, you need to go. This has turned into a Fogbees tradition, I am not 100% sure on how many years but at least 14 years, one year a few of us went twice, spring and fall. Lets make it happen, see ya there!!

My Social Security Accounts Moving

I know this is a weird post for a cycling blog, however, I have encouraged many of you over the years to create a "My Social Security Account" to first secure you SS# from hacking, then to be able to run what if retirement senerios, then when you want to get your SS or Medicare, it is almost essential to have this account. The government is transitioning access to your My Social Security account to Login.gov or ID.me If you have either of those accounts, your existing My Social Security will be linked, and no action is necessary. If you don't, I would reccommend you sign into your My Social Security account very soon, and follow the link to transition it. At some time in the near future, if you don't transition you will lose access to the account and have to start over. One final note, it is sort of a PITA to do the transition, for me I had to verify my Drivers License number, Type of vehicle I owned, the license plate of the vehicle and last 8 digits of one major credit card. Here is the official Press release link. SS Press Release

Andrew Getter

After two weeks of increasing back pain Andrew was found to have multiple abscesses along his epidural spine from neck down. He had surgery to drain these at Southern Hills Medical Center last night. He is back in a Critical care room, alert and generally feeling well. He will have several weeks of antibiotic but how long that will be in hospital depends on infection response. As of now he is in CCU 11 on 2nd floor.
