Ride Information: This ride departs from HoD. The rider's meeting will be at 10:00 AM. KSU will follow. Given it has been a rainy week and is forecasted to be a rainy weekend, we thought it would be nice to squeeze in an extra weekday lunch ride on Friday! The purpose of this ride is to “Ride and Have Fun” (as Big G. would say), exploring some back roads in Shelby County and ending up at to Champy's Famous Fried Chicken in Alabaster to enjoy their “world famous” fried chicken for lunch! All current HOG chapter members are welcome.


Ride Theme: “Fried Chicken Friday Ride to Champy's”

 

Ride Plan: The ride will cover approximately 61 miles (+/-) with no breaks to our lunch stop at Champy’s. The route will take Oak Mountain Trail from HOD to CR 52 to HWY 11, 36, 69, to 47 through Columbiana to Montevallo via HWY 25, and then north on Salem Rd and HWY 17, working over to Champy’s via 1st Avenue West (or Kent Dairy).
