Itinerary:

Join me for a late-morning ride on the Forsyth Big Creek Greenway and some amazing New York style bagels at Bronx Bagels (BB's).  The bike ride will be about 2 hrs. and the trail is mostly flat. After the ride we'll drive down the road to BB's Bronx Bagels for some lunch.

Meet at the southern trailhead off McFarland Parkway (head east from GA400). Look for a brown sign reading 'Big Creek Trail' on the right and park in the gravel lot.  We'll meet there.  Alternate parking (if needed) is across McFarland in a small shopping area, to the left as you're looking across.


NOTES:
1) Please complete your pre-ride maintenance (e.g. inflate tires, lube chain, etc.) the day prior to the event so we can leave on time.

2) There are boardwalks on the path that will be slippery if wet and can be slippery even if not wet - be careful!

3) Bring a camp chair since we might decide to sit outside under a shade tree to eat lunch.

4) You are responsible for your bike maintenance and/or repairs on the trail. Other AOCer's will be willing to provide what help they can, but ultimately individual riders are responsible for their own repairs.

5) My thanks to John Christopher who introduced me to this event and whose write-up I cannibalized.
