Itinerary:

This will be an urban biking adventure that will begin at the Marietta Square.  We will ride on a section of the Mountain-to-River Trail between the Square and Kennesaw Mountain area, then on the Noonday Creek multi-use trail out to Duncan Road.  We will be coming back by the KM Visitor's Center for a pit stop and then back to the Square via neighborhood streets from St. Anne over to Kirkpatrick and around. [see map below].   The ride will take us down sidewalks, bike paths, and streets where we will have to negotiate traffic.  The ride will be fairly easy but there are some hills [see altitude section of map info].  

Here is a map of the route

Here are some photos along the ride.

We can all meet beginning at 12:45 near the large white covered stage [not the gazebo] on the side of the square.  You may want to keep my phone number handy just in case.  770 656 8686

Email me with any questions.  Hope to see you there!
