About 215 cyclists got to enjoy Calhoun County's scenic beauty before rain and lightning stormed in Saturday. They pedaled in the 16th annual Woodland-Calhoun Century Challenge. There were 25-, 50- and 100-mile options for riders of varying ambition. Those who took the 100-mile route got to see more than Calhoun County, following the Chief Ladiga Trail into next-door Cleburne County and nearly to Georgia.Bravo to the Anniston Parks & Recreation Department for putting on yet another big ride. The Star's got a story on the event, here. Pictured at right are Dana and Gerald Shaw of Anniston, getting ready for the ride (The photo is by The Star's Kevin Qualls). There are more pre-race photos in a slideshow at The Star's Web site.
Any readers out there hit the road for this one? What'd you think about the ride? Click below to comment.
