This is awesome John! The Lucky Bike 100 is my favorite route in the entire area, so I am excited to see it as a permanent.

I was also really excited to see the new Sauratown Mountains route. That area has been on my radar for a while, but I haven't been able to put it together.

But alas, I won't be able to join y'all on the Lucky Bike; there is a cyclocross race at Dix the following day.

Chapeau!

Hey all,

The Lucky Bike 100 (Perm 5939) rolls from Cocoa Cinnamon (420 W Geer St) at 8:15 am this Saturday. Drop Jack a note it if you want to ride with him at 6:45/7 am (jack....@gmail.com)

The Lucky Bike route in the RUSA perm library has been updated with the WOCG reroute:

#05939 - OCC's Lucky Bike 100 - Durham Edition · Ride with GPS

I put a "narrow path" hazard on the bridge on the Morrisville streetside path based off what it looked like on google maps, but it wasn't bad at all when I rode it on Tuesday. I would caution riders to stay single file there. 

There were a few sharp turns on downhill portions of the re-route (in the direction of Cary to Durham), and at least once there was a wall on the outside of the turn. 

This turn at mile 18 from a streetside path to green level greenway was easy to miss in the opposite direction of travel:

Make sure you're signed into RUSA on your phone - you can get a free beer when you show your perm result recorded in your results page or the permanent results page to your bartender at the arrivée,.Atomic Clock Brewing. 

Cheers,
