Macon Cycling Classic RR Preview

Tom Hope will lead us this Saturday, January 14th, at 9:00 am from Mt. Zion Church.  We'll pre-ride the Macon Cycling Classic road race course and discuss and/or practice race strategy and tactics.  A map of the MCC RR lollypop-shaped course is shown at the bottom of the page.

Five miles from the RR course finish, we'll do a little team attack zone.  The distance to the finish is painted in orange from 5 miles out.  The finish is the last driveway to Hubbard Elementary school, about 3/4 way up the hill.  There's a store on the left on Hwy 83 about 1/2 mile past the RR finish.  We'll regroup there and do a store stop (mile 41).

Saturday's total ride will be 79 miles, but to include the MCC course and accommodate riders who'd like to do less mileage, we'll make it a figure eight on familiar roads so you can turn off and cut it short if you'd like.  It'll be easy to do a 65-ish mile loop.

We'll have an attack zone starting at the left turn from Shi onto Maynard's Mill at mile 62.5.  The AZ finish will be the stop ahead sign for Hwy 74 at mile 65.8.

If you're confused about the direction/sequence, just hold your cursor over the profile and the mileage will pop up on the map.
