Itinerary:

We will enjoy a bike ride on the Suwanee Greenway which stretches from George Pierce Park south to Suwanee Creek Park.   We can also take a couple of side trails...to the Suwanee Town Center and around a lake in a nearby residential development.  We will keep the group together part of the way, due to the side trails, but also areas where you can go at your own pace. But this won't be a fast paced ride and avg speed will probably be about 10mph.

"Located at 1170 Buford Highway, near the City's southern limit, Suwanee Creek Park, is a passive recreation area ideal for family picnics and reunions; it's also the trailhead for the Suwanee Creek Greenway. The 85-acre Suwanee Creek Park, which has been left substantially in its natural condition, serves as the primary parking area and access point for the greenway. About 100 parking spaces are available at Suwanee Creek Park, which also features additional hard- and soft-surface trails, two pavilions, picnic tables, grills, public restrooms, and open meadow areas. The park is open from sunrise to sunset."
