Directions to the St. Matthews Hill Ride

When we do this ride, we usually meet at the Hwy 78 exit on I-26 (exit 205) at the Waffle House (about ¼ mile from the interstate).  We'll leave the Waffle House at 8:00 and caravan the 70 miles to St. Matthews together from there.  The ride starts from the Exxon Station at exit 136 near St. Matthews.

What to expect on the ride...

This is a leaderless ride.   The idea is just to get some hill work done without driving all the way to North Carolina to do it.

None of the hills on this ride are very tall, maybe a couple hundred feet at most.   The route illustrated at the bottom of the page is just a tad under 40 miles, but there are a variety of ways to add “extra credit”.  There aren't too many opportunities along the route to pick up water or food.  It's probably best to bring what you need with you.
