Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

On the last Friday of every month, hundreds of bicyclists gather at Woodruff Park in downtown Atlanta around 6:30 pm.   Around 6:45 the group heads out on a slow and scenic 15ish mile ride through the city, the route changes each month and is only known to the event's leader.

If you've never been, don't be intimidated by the distance, riding on the road, or riding in the city... it isn't too scary, too strenuous, too far, or too fast, but it is a lot of fun.  If you've never done Critical Mass and are a cyclist, this is a must do event.  It is a sight to see!  

We will be riding in a large crowd on Atlanta's streets, so previous bike experience is a must.  

We will gather at Woodruff Park on the Auburn AVE side.  I will have on a bright colored shirt and a solid black commuter bike.
