Itinerary:

Swithching things up a bit on this bike event as we FLIP START POINTS...tonight we'll be MEETING and riding at 6PM from the Marconi area lot.  Parking is available at Marconi Lot and/or Jekyll Brewery. Arrive early enough to get things situated and prepped well before 6 pm.  We'll start on time.  Sunset is at 7:41, so we need to be back at Marconi Drive about then. 

 

We'll start out going towards Union Hill, circle back, passing Marconi once and head to the turnarounds near the Roswell trailhead off Old Alabama road. We'll re-group at the restrooms there - for nature breaks and water...then it's back to Marconi.  If time/light permits we can do some optional hills before your rewards.

If you're not familiar with the route, please visit the updated web site link below; as we may or may not be grouped together due to varying fitness levels. 

Alpharetta G'way Map

 

This ride is best on a road bike, but can be completed on any mechanically sound bike of your choice.  Near the Roswell end there is some boardwalk sections, but they have been replaced recently...and some are under construction....keep your head up :) 
Bring a helmet, sunscreen and a positive attitude.

 

Thanks to Horhay for letting me use the write up!
