The Green Mountain Loop and Bobby Sue's
This ride SHOULD be completed before any storms, hopefully! Most forecasts seem to indicate storms arriving in the afternoon, around 3:00. Look out the window and get an early morning forecast before you decide to head out! I might post a cancellation if the weather turns for the worse, check back if you are concerned.
Start at King Pine Ski Area at 9:00, ready to ride. Park at the big parking lot across from the main lifts on the lakeside of route 153. Ride south on 153, turn left at Cushing Corner Road for a somewhat hilly ride but good views into Freedom Village. The road out of Freedom is flat. From Freedom, travel south back onto route 153, then after the gazebo in Effingham,you go down a hill and soon see Center Effingham where you take a right onto Town House Road, might be labelled Corner Road (Look for this on the right! Easy to miss! Sign might be missing!!). The loop around Green Mountain concludes with Green Mountain Road, which will take us back to 153.
On the way back stop at Bobby Sue's Ice Cream Shop. opens at 12:00!
The loop around Green Mountain is largely rolling; the hills are on the small side. Total ride of 29 miles.
Plan to leave King Pine at 9 AM. Park in the lot across from the ski area.
As always, car pooling is good. (Carpoolers from Glen/Jackson area - meet at Grant's parking lot at 8:00).
There is a coffee shop that used to be open in Freedom Village, operated by volunteers from the area. Hopefully it is still open on the weekdays - if so, stop there for a coffee and a snack.
This map below is almost exactly the ride planned...I could not get the Ride with GPS to load on this blog. If you want the map, email me and I will forward it to you. Scott will be the leader and he knows this route well!!
