RIDE TO ASHLAND and  PATRICK HENRY'S HOME

Description: Join us for a rare club ride from Caroline County to Ashland, VA.  We will start at the County Line Baptist Church at 3461 Ladysmith Rd in Chilesburg near the Caroline County Supermarket.  From there we will head south on quiet country roads to downtown Ashland where you will see gorgeous old homes, a quaint Main Street peppered with coffee shops, and  train tracks that run through the center of it all. We will stop for a light snack before heading back.  On the return trip, we will circle through Patrick Henry's former home of Scotchtown.

Please register for this free event so the ride leader knows who's coming.

Pace and Distance:  Expect to do a minimum pace of 15mph.  The distance roundtrip is 52 miles, but as one rider put it, with the rest in between, it's more like two 26-mile rides put together.

Note:  This route is now part of the FCC's club library.  There is one potentially dangerous hill on Blunt's Bridge Rd called "the Big Sister" by the RABA club, and YOU MUST TAKE THE APPROACH TO THAT HILL WITH EXTREME CAUTION.  We will talk about that hill in the parking lot before we leave.  The rest stops and the Big Sister are noted on the downloaded route.
