Itinerary:

Join me for a Wednesday after work Bike Ride. The weather forecast looks great. I'm planning a pace of 15-16 mph crowds permitting. Be prepared to move at a good pace out and back with only a brief stop at the other end to get a quick drink. Those who know this trail well and don't want to keep this fast pace are welcome to join us, but you may be on your own to go out and back at your pace. It's out and back so you must be able to return the same distance you go out. 

WHAT IS A GREENWAY?

NOTE: For safety, helmet required to be worn during this event.  No helmet, no bike ride.

WHAT IS A GREENWAY?
A greenway is a linear park. A greenway is about people and the land they love. It is about conservation. It is about recreation and alternative transportation. It is about environmental education. It is about connecting the quality of life Alpharetta now has with the future plan that will help maintain that quality of life. Our greenway is an investment in the future of Alpharetta...an Alpharetta that is green, with open spaces for people as well as natural areas for plants and animals.

The Big Creek Greenway is primarily a 12-foot wide concrete path that meanders through the deciduous woods along Big Creek. The greenway offers an ideal setting for walking, jogging, inline roller blading, and biking.

HOW LONG IS THE BIG CREEK GREENWAY?
Total length of the Big Creek Greenway, from Windward Parkway to Mansell Road, is approximately 8 miles.
