8:00 AM 100mi #3 Clark State Forestry
    Bethlehem Century. All well mannered, polite, and realistic riders welcome. Not sure if the first store stop (Red Barn Bait Shop) still has an outhouse or not. Dogs possible, gravel or poor pavement possible, people with surly attitudes possible. Please plan accordingly. Weather cancellations announced via list serve and club web site. Call or e-mail if in doubt. Some people mail Christmas cards wanting the Bethlehem post mark. I "Think" you can still mail them in New Washington and get the wise men stamp, but I am not positive.

3:45 PM 2mi #1 Mega Cavern Christmas Light Ride - Kmart Parking Lot - 4025 Poplar Level Rd
    The tradition continues! Saturday, December 3rd, 2016, a 2 Mile Christmas Holiday Ride through the Mega Cavern Lights Under Louisville…with over 2 million points of light and 850 Christmas light displays. The terrain is mostly packed dirt so a mountain bike or wider tire type bike is advisable. Pump up the tires on your mountain bike or close the deal on the one you are wanting to buy and join us! To better be able to see the roadway, a front headlight is a very good idea. The cavern remains at about 62-65 degrees. The indoor Mega Bike Park closes at 4:00pm on Saturday, in case you were wondering about that. They will be providing to us a $5 discount coupon to use at a later time for activities they offer. We will meet at the Kmart parking lot located at 4025 Poplar Level Road and ride to Taylor Avenue which is just off the Kmart parking lot. We will have a sign in sheet and the cost is $6.00 per person, EXACT change would be very helpful. This is great fun! We are allowed to ride through before they are open to the general public. No cars, only bikes, how cool is that! Christmas cookies and hot chocolate after the ride…hope you can join us. The rain date will be the following Saturday, December 10, 2016..same time…same everything.

8:00 AM 100mi #3 Finley Firehouse, Scottsburg, IN
    Puddle's Christmas Century. At this time, the plan is to do the Jigg's Century; however, I reserve the right to change depending upon weather conditions, etc. Be prepared to climb/go under the barriers on a blocked bridge, ride some gravel including a hill that I fell on last trip there, deal with dogs, and deal with rough roads. While the lunch stop is currently open on Saturdays, remember it is a country store and could close at any moment without notice. Stick a little extra something in your pocket or bike bag. If it would upset you if the stop is closed, stay home. Otherwise, bring your sense of adventure and your smile. Cancellations announced on the club web site and kylistserve. Call or e-mail if in doubt.
