Itinerary:

Come join us for a morning bike ride on the the Forsyth Section of the Big Creek Greenway. You'll be home in plenty of time to watch the big game.

We'll meet at the the southern trailhead off of McFarland Road. The one-way distance is 6.8 miles, so out and back is a total of 13.6 miles. Everyone can go at their own pace, but it shouldn't take us more than 2 hours total. It's mostly flat with only about 100 feet of total elevation change one way.

We normally ride around 10-12 MPH depending on the group and traffic on the Greenway.
