BBC Ride - Early Rise, Early Finish

            Our Group Riding Plan        

 *****THIS IS NOT A BEGINNERS RIDE*****

If you're looking for a fun and scenic way to start your day, why not join us for a bike ride at the Budweiser Plant in Cartersville, GA? You'll get to enjoy the fresh air, the low traffic, and the beautiful countryside views. Plus, you'll get to burn some calories and have some fun conversations with your fellow bikers.

We'll be following the 31 mile BBC route, which has some rolling hills and some challenging climbs. Don't worry, we're not racing or pushing ourselves too hard. We're just here to have a good time and pedal at a moderate pace. We'll stop every few miles to catch our breath, drink some water or Gatorade, and admire the scenery.

This is a no-drop ride, which means we won't leave anyone behind. But you should be able to keep up with the group and follow the route markings. We recommend using a road bike, unless you're confident that you can keep up with a hybrid bike. This is not a flat or easy ride, so be prepared for some adventure.

One more thing...this ride is for fun-loving people and those who enjoy being around others. Some of us like to make jokes, tell stories, and have a good laugh. If you're easily offended or prefer a quiet ride on a bike path, this ride is probably not for you. You've been warned!

Ride start time is 7:30 AM, so please show up 5-10 minutes early for introductions.

     Important Notes    

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

Wear light or bright colored clothing and working lights on both front and back of your bike for visibility.

We recommend a road bike although you can ride a hybrid.

Budweiser lets riders park in the lot to the right.  Park on the side away from the factory along the edge of the lot (they are closed on Sundays). Please do not litter, change in the open, or urinate in their bushes.
