Itinerary:

Event #2 takes us to Tribble Mill in Gwinett.

A relatively new trail, Tribble Mill has excellent flow and will provide a good day of bike riding! For group rides we often split into smaller groups and collect at the top of a hill or at a trail intersection. All rides are no-drop, meaning you won't be left to ride on your own.

However, the plan is to ride one loop at 9.2 miles, which provides the rider with no duplication of trails. We'll venture out on the trail again for a second loop and should someone start to bonk, bail-out options exist to return to the car.

With the colder temps and lack of saddle time, many riders are not in peak riding condition, me included. An intermediate or advanced rider should be able to ride one loop at normal pace. After the first loop anyone not sure if they can make the second loop will be able to bail-out at several locations on the trail.

The goal is to ride two loops for a total of 18.2 miles.

This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.
