This is not a beginner ride. Please be comfortable with a relatively longer distance on roads and hills. What’s better than Cyber Monday? Cycling Sunday! After all those turkey day leftovers, supposedly super sales on Black Friday, and a little too much family time, grab your bikes and join us for some FREE fun on the beautiful back roads around Cartersville. Amazing views! One of the best rides you’ll do all year! Incredible exercise! Beat the rush… sign up now before the daylight disappears! All kidding aside, this really is a beautiful ride!We’ll be cycling a 31 mile loop beginning at the Budweiser Plant near Cartersville, Georgia. Following country lanes along pastures and farms, over the river and through the woods, and probably past a grandmother’s house or two, biking the back roads is a great way to clear out the stuffing from the long turkey day weekend.
This is not a beginner ride, so here are a few words of caution. This is not a flat greenway ride. Please expect some hill climbing and the fun downhills that make the grind worth your time. We will be travelling on actual two-lane country roads which, although not heavily travelled, can occasionally cause a small parade of cars or trucks behind us so we will mostly be cycling single file to allow them to pass when they can. We will be stopping several times to regroup, take a sip or just grab a breath. Although this is a no-drop ride, if you are unable to keep up with the group you may be asked to ride back on the shorter route to the starting point. We recommend a road bike although you can ride a hybrid. For your safety, helmets are required. Please wear light or brightly colored clothing and have working front and rear lights for visibility.
Budweiser lets riders park in the lot to the right as you drive in. Park on the side away from the factory along the edge of the lot (they are closed on Sundays). Please do not litter or change in the open. | |||||||
