Itinerary:

::NOTE START TIME::

Join me for this AOC St. Patrick's Day Tuesday Night Bike Ride on the Big Creek Greenway. We'll be hitting the route at 6 p.m. from the NORTH POINT PKWY G'way Trailhead from there we'll warm up as we head to the Roswell end, from there we'll headed out to the Union Hill PopUp Skate Park where we'll turn around and head back to Marconi to do a few Marconi climbs (I know it's early in the season, but try for 3...can you do more?). We will do a rolling re-group at that point, then head back to the trailhead.

Arrive about 10-15 minutes early for prep, intros and such.

Also, if you're not familiar with the route, please visit these updated web sites; as we may or may not be grouped together due to varying fitness levels, my avg pace will be moderate - but I'll be looping back to sweep and check on things as we go along.

This ride is best on a road bike, but can be completed on any mechanically sound bike of your choice...I'll be on my gravel bike, so choose your weapon carefully!
