Nashville Tomato Festival Saturday August 11

Bryan Kortness was a much loved and incredibly missed all around good guy and cycling ambassador who hosted several cycle outings. One of these, the Tomato Art Festival in East Nashville,  occurs this weekend. Some of the Turtles plan to ride from the Madison Lowes to the Nashville Tomato Festival and back to Lowes this Saturday. Start time is 10:00 am to accommodate some of us involved in the Kids Triathlon. Lunch at any one of many of eating places in East Nashville.
Route to. Return route is the reverse.

Anyone wanting to start earlier and do a longer route can head down Long Hollow pike to Two Mile Parkway and catch USBR 23 which will take you to the Festival.
It is to be a great weather Saturday so if a slow urban ride is not your pleasure, do ride somewhere.

Call for Volunteers This Saturday for Kids Triathlon, Followed by Fogbee Ride

The Hendersonville Endurance Athletic Team are in need of volunteers for their 14th annual Kids Triathlon at the Sumner County YMCA on August 11. Our good friend, Charlene Alcorn, would like to have 10-12 Fogbees for stationary spots on the senior bike course. Volunteer check-in is at 6 AM, the race starts at 7 and we're usually done around 9.

If you would like to volunteer, please email Charlene, spinjunkie@comcast.net, or text her at 615.974. 3189 with your name and address...and post here so fellow volunteers know who's joining them. As in the past, we can plan our ride routes for the day to rendezvous at the Y, have the volunteers join in for the ride and then have post-ride recovery someplace nearby. Please consider giving a few hours so the kids can have a fun and safe race.
