Itinerary:
The Alpharetta Greenway is a paved trail through surprisingly beautiful woods considering its "urban" setting. It is not unusual to see wildlife such as deer. The section we will be riding is almost exactly 5 miles long. It has some short hills that are not very steep. As a reference my average speed is 15MPH but usually I let the group set the pace. We will ride out and back twice for a total distance of 20 miles. Feel free to email me if you have questions about the level of difficulty. We may have limited daylight, so try to be on time. We will gear up, do introductions, and sign waivers, then get rolling. FYI - the last few times I have been there the rest rooms at the trailhead were locked.

NOTE: You MUST be able to perform your own bike maintenance should you have any mechanical issues.
