Itinerary:

We will be riding The South Loop trail at Blankets Creek. This is a singletrack trail. It is the advanced trail. There are some pretty steep hills on this section. It will be a great workout although less than an hour. It will be a ride to get the heart pumping. There are some technical sections on this trail but nothing to be scared of. We will be riding with a no drop policy. Meaning we will stop from time to time to let everyone catch up. If you want to ride fast or be a jackrabbit, come out and ride but you will be on your own. If you are in decent physical condition and want to see what some good single track is all about come out this Saturday. The nice thing about this trail is it is not busy. I rode it a couple weeks ago and only saw one other person while riding. Please email me if you are thinking of riding and not sure if you can handle it.

Trials are closed if the mail gate is closed. The trails normally close for:
Rain and the days following a heavy rain (to let the trails dry out)
Freeze thaws

This prevents the trails from being destroyed when they are most vulnerable. Vehicles parked outside the closed gates, along Sixes road, or in the private school parking lot are subject to being towed. Locals or residents who access the trails at points other than the trail head parking lot are expected to stay off the trails when they are closed to prevent damage to the trails.

Dog are permitted but must be well behaved and they are the owners responsibility and must be leashed!!!!!

Required Items to Bring:
Water or sports drink
snack
2 tubes

Trail Snacks
Rain gear/poncho
Small daypack
camera

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

From Atlanta take I-575 North to I-575 North. Exit on Sixes Road (Exit 11), turn left (West) off the exit ramp and continue about 1.8 miles.

Go past the trail head and park in the second church parking lot on the LEFT. The trail head parking lot fills up and is too tight. DO NOT PARK ON THE ROAD OR IN ANY OTHER PARKING LOT (they will tow)
