Southeast - Heading to Atlanta weekend of November 14th. Any rides

Coming down weekend of the 14th to visit friends. Looking for some sort of group ride on Saturday morning. Anyone know of anything going on? Thanks.

Here's the SBL ride calendar for the 14th. No big rides. Just the usual Saturday rides but they're always fun and some can be challenging.

Lots of options -- probably depends on what part of town you'll be in. Here are a couple of options (the first one is my every-Saturday ride)

Meet at Dunwoody High School parking lot on the corner of Vermack and Womack for a fast paced ride. “A Group” is a 40 mile ride at a 20 mph, “hang or drop” pace. If you get dropped, you can wait for the “B Group” to pick you up. “B Group” is a 34 mile ride at a 15 mph average pace.

I'll probably do that first ride. I'm staying in Buckhead with a friend. Is the 20mph pace a good estimate for the front group? Thanks.

Yes, probably so. I ride at front of B group and avg 18.
I won't be there 11/14, but this past Saturday we had about 45 ppl (split 25/75 betw A/B). Nice day, great ride.

At least the tropical storm will be gone and the roads will be dry. :thumb:

Here's another list of rides to check out.

Hope the weather is nice. I'm looking forward to meeting some new people and getting a good ride in that morning.

Check out the atlbike.org site. They usually have a few rides to choose from.
