UPDATE: The Double Decker festival has rescheduled the day-time events to Sunday due to the potential for severe weather. The chamber of commerce has moved the Run to Sunday.
The DD Spring Ride team has, with much hesitation, decided to reschedule also. The ride will be Sunday, April 25 - same time - same place.
Please check the web-site for details
This year we will have 10, 24, 50 and 66 mile loops that meander through the rolling hill country of Lafayette County.
The routes will be fully supported with pre-ride bike maintenance, rest stops where you can top off with mid-ride snacks, and rolling sag support for any mechanical issues or tired riders. Our sponsors also provide pre-ride breakfast and post-ride pizza to replace spent calories. The short route will start with a brief safety review and have experienced cyclists riding as the lead and sweep.
This year's proceeds will be going to Bike-Walk Mississippi and two local no-kill shelters that operate on a Spartan-like budgets helping animals find homes -- Friends of Pete (dog rescue network) and 9 Lives Cat Rescue.

Ride's main start is at 8:30am with a second start at 9:00 am for those who are also participating in the Double Decker Spring Run.
T-shirts are still available, although size preferences are answered on a first-come first-served basis after April 1.
And don't forget that the ride coincides with Oxford's Double Decker Festival (DDF). DDF takes over the Downtown Oxford Square with pedestrian traffic, locals peddling their arts and crafts, elite and down-home restaurants offering their signature dishes, and bands playing all day. There is even a corner for younger kids to have fun. Find more info about DDF at www.oxfordcvb.com
