Itinerary:
We'll head to Conyers for trip #3 of 2012.  GIHP is the home of the 1996 Olympic Course.  Roughly five miles is on one side of the street and the remaining five miles on the other side.  The area where we park is often called the Steeplechase side due to the steeplechase horse area and the other the granite side due to the rock formation.

We'll ride one lap full lap and return to the cars to refuel.  We'll head out again for a half lap on the steeplechase side and if anyone wants, can bail at this point before we cross the road and ride the granite side a second time.

Expect a solid 1 hour 15 minute ride per lap with a few points to collect.  You should be able to ride 15-20 miles.  This is a demanding course.  The D5 is well worth the rating.
