Blankets Creek Mountain Biking

This one has two options: Lauren will take beginners to intermediates to mountain biking on the beginner/intermediate trails at Blankets. We'll do Mosquito trails and finish on dwelling. I do highly recommend that you have been riding for a while on mountain bike trails even as a beginner. Plan on doing about 5 or 6 miles depending on the pace of the group. We'll stop and gather up as needed. If you stick with the beginners to intermediates group you will not be left behind.

Isabella will take intermediate/advanced riders to South Loop and finish on Dwelling. We will not be stopping except when we connect onto dwelling. This ride is not for beginners. We will cover about 6 to 8 miles and riding at a moderate to fast pace.

*If you are a novice and completely new to mountain biking these rides are not for you, even if you are a beginner you must have some experience riding mountain bike trails.

Please make sure your bike is ready at least the day before our ride. We will depart for the trails on time as daylight is burnin'.

SORBA asks for a $1 donation to use the trails. There is a box at the trailhead you can put money in on your way to the trails. This is not mandatory, just suggested and recommended. These trails are very well marked, meticulously maintained and quite frankly pretty dang awesome so you will get a lot for your dollar.

Parking is free and there are restrooms by the parking lot. There is also a bike wash station with hooks and hoses.

The best way is to create your own directions from your starting point. Go to maps.google.com and paste the bolded text below directly in to the search bar. Then chose 'satelite view' for a birdseye view of the park.

Directions to the trails: From Atlanta take I-75 North to I-575 North, exit on Sixes Road (Exit 11), turn left (West) off the exit ramp and continue about 1.8 miles. The Blankets Creek trail head is on the left; look for the signs.
