4th Annual Paul-Hardin-Memorial Bike Shop Fundraiser Out and Back. With the ongoing permission of the Hardin family, the now annual Paul Hardin Memorial Out and Back will again be a fundraiser for the SBC's Community Bike Shop at the Fairbanks. (All funds raised by shop sales go directly to the Fairbanks - this fundraiser helps the shop keep stocked up with tubes, chain oil, rags, parts, etc.)The beauty of this out-and-back format is that you can ride for as long or as short as you want by simply turning around and heading back to the Mothership when you are ready to. Or, if you want, ride the entire 200k out to Cooky's Pie Shop in Golden City.
Pace shouldn't be too horrific - probably 16-18 mph average moving speed for the 200k group, easy up the hills, and really just spinning some long miles into the legs to help those in their build-up for the upcoming MidSouth gravel/mud festival.Here is the route: https://www.strava.com/routes/7594474
$25 donations respectfully – any amount more also gratefully received. #fortheloveofsport Rain or shine. But not lightning.

Continuing items of importance:
The Sbc merino wool jerseys are fantastic, and the last order's quantity got us to $110 each, I think. Any interest in a new order, let us know? The jerseys are long sleeves and constructed of very high quality (20.1 microns and 440gm weight) 100% Australian merino wool. They include an entire zip front and hidden rear zippered pocket. The jerseys are unisex but have good stretch, so they fit both women and men well. With cold washing and lay-flat drying, they are expected to reduce in size by around 3%. Size Chart Here.
