Itinerary:

::NOTE START TIME::

Join me for this AOC Tuesday Night Bike Ride on the Big Creek Greenway. We'll be hitting the route at 6 p.m. from the NORTH POINT PKWY G'way Trailhead from there we'll warm up as we head to the Roswell end, from there we'll 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 (4 has been the norm as of late...can you do more?). We will do a rolling re-group at that point, then head back to the trailhead.

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 - but I'll be looping back to sweep and check on things as we go along.

For those of you that may not know the route, this map and GPS link should help. Map: we start at #4 and travel north to #11 (and beyond to Union Hill (Sector 11 on STRAVA). OAB.

This ride is best on a road bike, but can be completed on any mechanically sound bike of your choice...I'll be on my gravel bike, so choose your weapon carefully!
Bring a helmet and a positive attitude...oh and extra water, it's muggy AF now!

Bike
Flat tire repair kit 
Water

Event Directions:

GPS link above has location pinned


Go to the lower lot behind the old Ethan Allen store - shaded, free parking is available. There is filtered water, restrooms and a community repair stand with a pump at your disposal.


Notes:

Keep the rubber side down!

Super Marconi's are on tap: Start Marconi climb from WIndward, go up past the old Jekyl location, turning right then UP the road to Varint Healthcare offices - crest the top roundabout, head down the main entrance road, swing back to the left heading to the bottom of Marconi  and then head back UP to Honda....voila- you just completed one SUPER MARCONI (1.77 miles).

SUPER MARCONI + 
is a  2.9 mile add-on that includes the 14% grade in back of parking lot. Short, but steep effort just to add to the workout element...just be careful around the curb!!!
