Callaway Gardens is offering FREE admission through February 28th, so we are heading down to do some biking and sightseeing. We'll be biking the 10-mile Discovery Bicycle Trail. It's a gently rolling and winding paved path through Callaway Gardens. It will combine our outdoor excursion with a lot of sightseeing along the way. Our starting and stopping point will be the Butterfly center. Along the bike path, we'll be visiting the Pioneer Cabin, the Memorial Chapel, the Horticultural Center and back around to the Butterfly Center. Our pace will be determined by the group and our stops in between, but count on an easy pace of 10 MPH. All levels of riding ability and all types of bikes are welcome. IMPORTANT NOTES: YOU are responsible for your bike maintenance or repairs on the trail. We'll need to find out who can help with carpooling and carrying bikes. At this time, your TL's can carry can carry 3-4 bikes each depending on the bike. Use the Notes section to let us know if you have a bike rack and how many bikes you feel comfortable shuttling. | |||||||
