THANK GOODNESS IT'S FALL
[ TGIF TNR ]

Join me for the first Fall AOC Tuesday Night Bike Ride (and first since fracturing my ankle) on the Big Creek Greenway. We'll be hitting the route at 6 p.m. from the NORTH POINT PKWY G'way Trailhead (PLEASE bring a front head light). From there we'll run back over to the Roswell end and loop back - then head north out to "Sector 11" (no dab roundabout - beyond the Union Hill PopUp Skate Park). We'll turn around there and maybe do a pit stop at the sk8 park...then it's back to Marconi to do THREE Marconi climbs (you need 3 repeats to get credit for the full 26 mile event ;)~ you can do it at your own pace tho- I want to motivate us to get stronger...this IS THE WAY (see Additional notes below). We will be doing this as a non-stop effort, as always I'll have a rolling re-group at Marconi, then head back to the Northpoint trailhead.

Arrive about 10-15 minutes early for prep, warm-up, 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 a steady 15 mpha workout - but I'll be looping back to sweep and check on things as we go along (no one left behind).

Avg speeds need to be in the neighborhood of 15+ mph.

My RWGPS map - with gravel add-on (feel free to skip that if on road bike) :: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/371527638 

For those of you that may not know the route, this map and GPS link should help. Map: we start at #4 and travel north to #11 (and beyond to Union Hill (Sector 11 on STRAVA). OAB.

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!
