Rescheduled Allatoona Creek Beginners Ride

Allatoona Creek has some great trails for people new to mountain biking, but is also a lot of fun for advanced riders.  We will be riding at a leisurely pace, stopping every couple of miles for everyone to catch up and take a quick rest if needed.

We will start on the Turtle Back Loop, and also hit the short Turtle Back Spur loop along the way.

Once back at the parking lot, there are two other loops that are optional for those that would like to continue riding.  These are the Rusty Bucket Loop and the Mason's Bridge Loop, which will add an additional 6 miles.
