Itinerary:

Kick off the TREK Century Challenge on STRAVA. Ride 100 or more miles in the month of July. App members can find out more ways to keep you motivated to keep moving in the hot summer months in Georgia & beyond. This is just for fun....so join me after work for a much needed CHILL BIKE event on the Big Creek Greenway. We'll be hitting the route at 6 pm from the Roswell Trailhead - from there we'll be headed out to the Union Hill PopUp Skate Park where we'll turn around and head home. We will just to do a rolling re-group after we hit Marconi for the second time.

Arrive a 10-15 minutes early for prep, intros and such.

Also, if you're not familiar with the route, please visit these updated web sites; as we may or may not be grouped together due to varying fitness levels, my avg pace will be moderate #partypace - but that might not be everyone's party pace....

This ride is best on a road bike, but can be completed on any mechanically sound bike of your choice...I'll be on my bikepacking gravel bike, so choose your weapon carefully!
Bring a helmet, layers and a positive attitude...oh and a buff might be needed too - the gnats are getting crazy once you get beyond the Marconi area.
