Itinerary:

Join me Sunday for a much needed "CHILL" BIKE event on the Big Creek Greenway. We'll be hitting the route at 10 am from the Roswell, Big Creek G'way Trailhead from there we'll be headed out to the Union Hill PopUp Skate Park where we'll turn around and head back to Marconi to do a few Marconi climbs. We will do a rolling re-group at that point, then head out - passing the NP trailhead to roll down to the Roswell end, and circle back to get that 25 in :) 

Arrive about 10-15 minutes early for prep, intros and such.

Also, if you're not familiar with the route, please visit these updated web sites; as we may or may not be grouped together due to varying fitness levels, my avg pace will be moderate #partypace - but that might not be everyone's party pace....
