Highland Rim Bicycle Club makes donation to Motlow College Foundation

LYNCHBURG, TN (Oct. 21, 2014) – The Highland Rim Bicycle Club recently held its annual Elk River Valley 100 bicycle ride, and as they have done in recent years, once again donated a portion of the proceeds to the Motlow College Foundation.

This year’s ride was the club’s 41st anniversary for the event and included a record number of riders participating.

“The Highland Rim Bicycle Club has been a great partner with Motlow College for the past several years,” said Jan Rogers, director of advancement at Motlow. “We appreciate the continued support for our students through this donation to the Foundation.”

The donation for 2014 will go into the Motlow Ladies Philanthropic Society Endowment fund campaign, which currently has a goal of $50,000 which will be matched by an anonymous donor.

Others wishing to help with this campaign may contact Jan Rogers at 931-393-1692 or jrogers@mscc.edu.

Percy Warner Mountain Bike Trails

Yes, you read that correctly, Percy Warner Park in Nashville now has mountain bike trails! On a recent trip to visit our daughter, Tab, in Franklin, we took to the trails.

To get to the trailhead, just head toward Nashville and Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. When you see the entrance for Cheekwood, rather than going in, bear to the left and go in front of the entrance to Cheekwood. Then, very soon, on your right you will see the Percy Warner Mountain Bike parking lot with a sign and maps marking the trail head.

There are 6 trails from the very chill Boulevard Trail that goes the length of the trail to the Humdiger Trail that sports some challenging features for the highly experienced rider. Continue reading →
