Fogbees' Ride to the Sky was Spectacular

Wow! What a beautiful ride! By my count 6 Fogbees rode the Calfkiller Ride to the Sky yesterday in Cookeville: Johnny D (honorary member for the day), Jeff, Ralph, Sean, Todd and yours truly. We thought it would be scenic, but it far exceeded our expectations. With law enforcement and motorcycle escort, we immediately were on sweet back roads. Fabulous views kept coming, one after another over Golden Mountain, south to Sparta, then northeast along Calfkiller River up a gradual 1000' climb to Monterey at the top of the Cumberland Plateau, then down exhilarating descents to a police escort through Algood (where it was all good) and to the finish.

Top it all off with Calfkiller beer, bbq, and live music, and this became an instant classic that we will come back to as long as they have it. Speaking of Calfkiller beer, the brewery was also the 2nd rest stop, where Jeff, Todd and I sampled their nut brown ale, before climbing the plateau. EPIC!!!

Problematic Kentucky Bicycle Laws

Since we ride frequently in Kentucky, it is advisable to be aware that Kentucky laws regarding bicyclists on highways are considerably different than those in Tennessee.  A current legal action reported by the League of American Bicyclist explains the problems.

Return of the Night Riders, 6 PM Tuesday at Sam's

Until the temperature or weather drives us indoors to spin, some of us still like to hit the road with the lights on high. We stick to a couple simple routes on well known roads. Riding in a group with bright, well charged lights is a must. Please post if you plan to ride so we know what group(s) can be formed.

Liberty Loop - 24 miles

RBS 14, Great weekend

Great Weather, Great friends and good food.  Despite a more than average number of punctures and a rare front spoke break everyone got to Armour's in time to socialize before eating. Looey Law was applied early at Hartsville so I don't know how folks made it home. Below is an image taken by Marsha D of the riders who made the return ride.
Thanks to all who stepped up to make this another great Fogbee weekend.

Red Boiling Springs Day 2 Route

I found that on my Garmin it only accept the first 16 character of the routes.  Since both are named the same except at the end, the last route loaded is the only one that loads. (ie Red_Boiling_Spri )  I have renamed the Day 2 route Day 2.  If your are riding the RBS ride, using a Garmin and want both routes, you should go back and download day 1 from Bruce's post, and download this Day 2 route from this post, so you have both routes.

Day 2 Red Boiling Springs.

FOGBEE Long Sleeve Jersey and Repeat Summer Jersey Order

We are ready to take a new Jersey order. This time we will be ordering long sleeve jerseys, but if you missed the opportunity earlier this year to order a short sleeve jersey or wanted additional short sleeve jerseys, this your chance. The long sleeve jersey is the same design as the short sleeve jersey, except that the sleeves will be all black with the yellow and red bands (currently at the bottom of the sleeve) at the cuff.

When we ordered last spring we had a promotional price plus we gave everyone an additional discount as we had sponsor money for the first order that also paid for all the freight on the fit kits and final shipping. LG is giving us the same price but less the promo plus we have to cover shipping. Based on this, the Short Sleeve Jersey will be $52.  There are two different styles, the Tour (formerly Fondo) and the Sport.

We are trying to get into the pick 18 program where we can mix long sleeve jerseys, jackets etc for a total of 18pc. The LS warmer jersey at 12 to 24 is $83, at 25 we get to $72 and at 50 it would be $67. This includes the coverage for the fit kit costs and shipping. Overall we have to get 18 Jerseys and Jackets, excluding the short sleeve above. LG can use the artwork on the jersey for the artwork on the jackets.

To get logo jackets we would have to order at least 6. They have several jacket levels, Thermal, Superlight, Winddry, Pro light, and Holey. Prices at the 6 level would run from $111 to $168 (the table above is in price order). If we could get to 12 the price would drop to $91 to $147. I doubt the group would buy more but there is price breaks at 25 then 50.

Remember these prices are for Custom made FOGBEE GEAR. We will have the fit kits beginning next week for TWO weeks. During that time we will take orders. First opportunity for checking out and tringon the long sleeve jerseys and jackets may be on the Red Boling Springs Ride. As usual, since we have to pay for custom gear in advance, your payment will be expected prior to placing the order.

Jack N Back time

Except for Todd losing his wallet the day was awesome. A Northwest tail wind kept things going smoothly.  Today was my 7th straight year on this bike ride for a great cause and  I enjoyed every one of the 75 miles with Mike K., Mike G. , Todd and Mr. Miley. Fogbees Rock!
