Boynton

One of the neat things about the 'Thursday Ride' of the Chattanooga Bicycle Club is that it is rarely the same. There are any number of routes and variations each one that it is difficult to come up with a specific route. However there were times when some of us desperately wanted a defined route that we could do at our own pace and actually know where we were going.

Please note: The mileage on these cue sheets is estimated from a map program. They are at best, estimates. I will verify them on the actual route eventually and update accordingly.

Long Battlefield Route

This is the longest of the routes. loop of scenic, gently rolling terrain starting at the Boynton Elementary School on Boynton Rd in Ft. Oglethorpe. It follows the red route on the map to Cedar Grove Rd, then follows the green route down to Reed Rd and back until it joins with the red route again until Glass Mill Rd. It heads toward Chickamauga on Glass Mill Rd, passes through the battlefield and returns to Post Oak Rd by way of the hill on Poplar Springs Rd, all on the green route.
