Itinerary:

Times are a changin... with sun set getting earlier we need to switch things up a bit.

This is an AFTERNOON START TIME and we will CHANGE THE START POINT. We'll be MEETING and riding at 2PM from the Marconi area lot. Parking is available at Marconi Lot and/or Jekyll Brewery. Arrive early enough to get things situated and prepped before 2pm. We'll start on time.

First, we'll ride north to Union Hill Park, and then return to Marconi. We’ll then ride south to Old Alabama.

For those so inclined, join us afterwards (4:00ish?) at Jekyll Brewing, which is just a couple hundred yards from the trailhead. Jekyll doesn’t serve food but they welcome food being brought or ordered in. They open at 4:00PM.

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!
