Itinerary:

Join us for a scenic afternoon ride on the Stone Mountain Trail.

We will begin at the Conferate Hall parking area at Stone Mountain by restrooms near walk up trail (see directions below). We'll ride 16 miles each way (32 total miles) from Stone Mountain Park to the the Carter Center and back to Stone Mountain Park at a 10 to 12 mph modest pace. We'll ride through Candler Park, Decatur, Avondale Estates, Clarkston.

Those interested can join us for lunch at the German Restuarant at Stone Mountain Village after the ride.

For the majority of the time you do not need to contend with cars.  That said, you will have some sections where you will be on the road.  These roads are typically not very crowded on the weekends, but, just in case, you need to be prepared for traffic and be comfortable riding on the road.  This is NOT the Silver Comet. Additionally there are many intersections which the Path Trail intersects the road. 

Note: This ride will have 1 or 2 stops and we will also be traveling on open roads for about 3 miles each way, so we will be staying together as a group during the ride. All riders are expected to obey all traffic laws while participating. Also there are rest rooms at Stone Mountain Park, but facilities along the route are limited.
