Itinerary:

This is a 20 mile out and back bike ride on a mixed use trail consisting of concrete and boardwalks on the Arabia Mountain Path.

This path winds through very scenic and hilly country. It will take us past former farmlands, over exposed granite and through Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve to Alexander Lake where we will take a snack and restroom break before retracing our steps back to the library.

We will regroup at intersections to keep the group together and ensure no one is left behind. Since this is a mixed-use trail, we will be on the lookout for pedestrians and other cyclists.

There will be aprox. 1450 feet of elevation gain over the 20 miles ride. We will ride around a 10-12 mph pace.

We will meet in the back of the parking lot at Stonecrest Library in Dekalb County where there is ample parking. Please arrive 15 minutes early for introductions and to get your bikes ready. We will be "wheels down" at 8 am. 

The event will be cancelled if it is raining or the path is wet. No helmet, no ride!
