Urban Assault Ride ::: 45’s and Up!

8:08 a.m. START TIME!

Saddle up and gear up for an all-out urban assault ride that starts at Roswell Adult Recreation Center (as you pull into the lot look left; parking in between the bocce ball courts & the rest rooms) and travels down a series of bike paths, trails, roadways, boardwalks, sidewalks and such ALLL the way down to Truist Park Battery & Paces Mill CRNRA and back!

The pace will be swift and the hills are a little ridiculous, but the suffering is well worth it at the end! After all we are on a lot of flat smooth sections where recovery can be obtained easily. 

I'll be on my OBED GVR but you can manage on your gravel bike, hybrid, mountain bike or even an endurance roadie could manage...but keep in mind I'll be throwing EVERY discipline of cycling at you during this ONE ride! We'll be in dirt, on gravel, hammering paved paths & streets, we have a couple big hills up & big hills down, fast corners and dogging flat sections where the MaxHR is checked - oh and don't forget we have some boardwalks too! All this and 45+ miles = a killer urban assault ride. As I said we are alongside traffic a couple of times, (this is not for the faint of heart or inexperienced) be prepared to get vetted if I've never ridden bikes with you...and be prepared to share some Strava data to stay on the event. 

Once we get down to the end of the "out & back" part of this loop (Rotten Wood Creek Trail) we'll take a quick second to catch our breath use the new bathrooms and amenities at the Paces Mill CRNRA, and head back up the hills we just came in on. I've done this loop b4 so I know that the last section (thankfully a lot of pathways along Riverside keep us outta traffic) will be our final test for the day.

Once we get back, it's a quick stretch, coffee and snacks at Summit Coffee! You just had an epic 45 mile ride under our belts...that you'll be itching to get back to tomorrow :)
