NO CRAM in 2025

Friends, Your participation and involvement in CRAM helped to make it a fun and worthwhile event for three decades for the Clarksville Rotary Club. We THANK you for that! However, Clarksville Rotary Club has decided to suspend our Clarksville Rotary Annual Metric (CRAM) for now. Again, thank you for your support and commitment to CRAM. We appreciate you!

New SAFER Bike Route from Memorial to Sanders Ferry Parks

.

Hendersonville's new Sanders Ferry Greenway Trail is fantastic. However, some feel the trail's connection from Mallard Point Park to Hickory Heights is dangerous for bicycle use. We recommend two alternate routes.  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50810582 The RED line is the original trail. The GREEN line is the Day Alternative. The BLUE line is the Evans Alternative. The City has re-marked/signed the BLUE Alternative

NATIONAL BIKE TO WORK DAY

.

National Bike to Work Day is an annual event that encourages people to commute by bicycle instead of driving, promoting healthier lifestyles and environmental benefits.     It is celebrated on the third Friday of May as part of National Bike Month, with various activities and support from local organizations.

FIRST SPRING TOUR

.

Twenty years ago, we (Dave, Tom, and Bruce) wore Biker's Choice jerseys. This picture was taken in May 2007 on our way to the Montgomery Bell State Park.     It became FOGBEES' first spring tour. Inviting our non-biking spouses to meet and join us at the lodge became a FOGBEE tradition.

GALLATIN ROAD

.

Notice the edge on the side of the berm in Gallatin Rd in Hendersonville, not the idiotic location of the rubble but the scrape of the grass. The County/State has cleaned the bike lane. Really!      Over the last decade, I can't remember it being cleaned. It had become such a mess that has been almost unsafe for bicycle use.

POTENTIAL eBIKE THEFT?

.

FYI, I think someone tried to steal my bike at WHPizza today. All four tie-down straps were undone, and the bike was off the holders. Fortunately, it was cable-locked on the rack.      I’m also fortunate it didn’t fall off. As I went a mile down the road, I noticed an unusual bounce, and it appeared there were no tie-downs. Be careful if your bike is out on a rack!

Erie Canal Bike Tour

Join Mark Greene and Bruce on bike trip from Buffalo to Manhattan this September/October. They’d love you to join them for any or all of it!      This will not be Bikepacking. Mark will start looking for lodgings in June. Mark - 703-408-0512
