Leipers Fork

By Jeremy Dunn • 3rd November 2009 11:00pm • Posted in Events

It is officially fall when you reach for your Classic Softshell Jacket before the morning commute. But that does not mean that the summer is just a memory long forgotten.

Every Tuesday from now until forever we will be updating the Rapha Continental Rides section of the website. Each week will see a more in-depth look at the rides that we did this past summer. The Road Journal served as our go-to spot for continuous updates throughout the summer, but now that we have had some time to process the rides they will be going up in full.

Flickr now offers an amazing little tool in the shape of a rotating slideshow. Take a look through the photos. The Leipers Fork ride is enviable to say the least. The good folks over at Gran Fondo really know how to treat people right. If you are in the Nashville area it is worth the visit alone for their Friday afternoon Wine sessions.

this looks great. but what happened to the beautifully designed layouts? this flickr thing is slow to load and makes me think that i'm looking at pictures of my sister in-law's baby shower. the photographs are beautiful, but the slideshow does them a disservice.

It looked so good for the "Norway":http://www.rapha.cc/rapha-rides-norddal piece that we thought we should give it go here. This way we could eliminate the need to keep scrolling down and you can also look at them in a larger format. Thanks for your thoughts though…

Jeremy, I like the new format. The reports are quite good. I can't wait to hear about the lemon bars!

jeremy, speaking of the norddal ride. i got my catalog and artist book in the mail. i can't find any info on the artist book. it's lovely. i usually toss or give away the catalogs, but i'll be putting the artist book in my library. great job. is there any additional info about that on the site? any pictures? i want to send to my friend so he can see what i'm talking about.

Great to see more lovely photos from Rapha's Leipers Fork ride -- all familiar views and vistas for those of us who regularly ride these roads. Less leaves on the trees these days, but just as many hills. We're glad you had such fun in our neck of the woods. --Cindy Wall
