Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue. This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary. | |||||||||
| Itinerary: | |||||||||
Bridging the GAP - and testing the newly completed sections and some gaps in new construction areas. Join me for the FULL 50 G'way ride - starting at the Roswell, Old Alabama lot . For those of you who have not been on the FULL 50 Big Creek Greenway, it is great! It is very well maintained, clean, pretty and challenging (it could be sandy and damp in some spots). We might even see some wildlife. The Greenway is made up of mostly paved pathways through the woods with some boardwalks mixed in. We plan to do about 50 miles, starting from the Old Alabama parking lot area. Once we get over to the UNION HILL Sk8 Park section there is a short GRAVEL section that goes up to Reagan Pkwy (and rejoins a bike path/sidewalk). From there we’ll rejoin the Greenway at Halcyon (Forsyth section (north of that is where it gets interesting, see middle of green profile map)). We'll ride to the end of the Forsyth Greenway, at the Canton Hwy (GA 20) junction --- but before that we will have to jump off at the Bethel Road Trailhead to get around the infamous Sawtooth Pass (which has some boardwalk construction going on around it, so it's closed). Never fear we'll have PLENTY of big climbs as we get up and over Chamblee Gap Road area. We’ll reach the end (re-group if necessary) grab a snack (self-supported) and head back!
