Howdy all. As some of you know, we moved to Vinings over the last couple of weeks (almost done, phew!). I am within a few miles of the Mavell Rd trailhead and also am right behind Atlanta (Vinings) Cycling. I went in and talked to Phil(? the owner) about slower paced rides leaving from the shop, as I am unable to keep up with the "regular beginner's" group. Where I lived in much flatter in comparison and these hills are kicking my butt. He mentioned to me that there was a silk sheets ride designed with true beginners in mind. I am not one, but ride like it...lol. My understanding is that this in only a weekly or possibly less frequent, and I am looking to get together a group to ride a couple of nights a week.
I am not (yet) a member of the club riding out of AC, nor have I made a ride there since being here. It is my intention to participate as much there as I was involved in my prior club where I did something similar to wonderful results.

I was interested in knowing if any of you are riding out of AC and would be willing to show me around a bit to familiarize with the area some, (to help enable me to) produce a ride route and plan for my idea to move forward as a "proposal" of sorts to the AC crew?
