Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Riding in Georgia

Business takes me to Georgia next week. Brasstown Bald is the only cycling feature I know of in Georgia. I'll be about 60 miles south of there(50 miles north of Atlanta) I'll have a bike with me. Any recommendations on places to get in a couple of 50 miles rides?

Where exactly are you going to be. Somebody might be able to hook you up with a local ride.

Check out Reality Bikes in Cumming. They should be able to steer you in the right direction. Their # is
770-886-1175.
I'm not far from Cumming. Let me know when you will be free. Perhaps we can hook up for a ride.

Georgia is the best place!!

My wife went there last summer to do some riding and the Coosa Valley Cycling Club, out of Rome, took us in like long lost friends. They showed us a great time and some great local rides. We had such a great time that we returned this year to ride in the 'Up the Creek Without a Pedal' century. We're hoping to make Georgia a yearly trip for us. I'm sure you will have a great time and will meet some great people.
