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:

Join us as we search for the elusive connector that is to join the Alpharetta Greenway with the Forsyth Big Creek Greenway. Alpharetta has published a conceptual map identifying the proposed location in general  with no details; there is a dirt road at the end of the Forsyth Greenway that heads in the general direction of the concept map's connector. Our quest is to ride mountain bikes on the dirt road along the creek in hopes of reaching the Alpharetta Greenway. If we find the Alpharetta Greenway we'll ride it to its end and back. If we do not, we'll turn around and ride the Forsyth Greenway to the Bethelview trailhead and back. We may have to bush whack, and will be moving at a moderate to fast pace.
