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. It is dedicated to walkers, runners, bikers, etc. so we are not riding in traffic though there are some road crossings.

We'll ride approximately 12 miles (6 out and 6 back). This will take us in to the Roswell section of the Greenway before heading back. Our pace will be determined by the group, but since it is a beginner trip count on an easy pace of 10-12 MPH.

IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU are responsible for your bike maintenance or repairs on the trail.

All levels of riding ability and all types of bikes are welcome.


Required Items to Bring:
  • You own bike
  • Helmet is REQUIRED!
  • Water
  • Spare tire tube
  • Tool(s) for removing your wheel (for those who do not have quick-release wheels)
Recommended Items to Bring:

  • Trail snacks
  • Bike tools
  • Camelbak

How to Get There:
Event Directions:
  • From Atlanta take GA-400 North to Exit 10 for Old Milton Parkway.
  • Turn right on Old Milton Parkway. Turn left at North Point Pkwy.
  • Take the 3rd right onto Preston Ridge Rd. Turn right again onto unknown road.
