Welcome

Well, it seems we have a number of folks interested in starting up an organized ride comprised of people who want a diversion from the crappy Tucker loop that stops every couple of minutes. This will be a more intimate group bringing together people who probably wouldn't ordinarily ride together. I think it will be more enjoyable and the quality of our training will be increased as well.

Feel free to bring anyone I may have left off the initial email list, but please do not invite folks who will have trouble keeping up. The roads we'll be riding contain very few stops to allow people to catch back up. There are shortcuts, but we won't be stopping and waiting unless someone flats or crashes.

Other bonuses include us being able to move the start time due to weather conditions. I've set up this blog so I can post the ride/time, then we can all submit a comment regarding who's going to show and if we should move the time.

At this time, we'll start from a school near my house in East Point. Go to Google Maps and plug in these coordinates 33.695053,-84.465358. I'll post a MapMyRide link of the route soon.

We had a lot of responses from people saying they were game for this coming Saturday. Should we start at 9 or 10? I think most of us are usually on our bikes by 9 to ride to a ride, so maybe 9 would be best and to keep the wives happy (if you have them). Ride will be around 3 - 3 1/2 hours, so ride to the school if you want more mileage. We can discuss making the ride longer as well. We got it like that!

So....chime in, if you're going to make it this Saturday. Hope to see everyone there!
