Great Fall weather so let’s ride! Start time is 9:00 am since it will be pretty warm in the mid 50s at the start and upper 60s at the end. I will be leading the ride this week and will enforce the pace. This ride is expected to average ~20 mph so come out and enjoy the SOUTHERN VELO-ship. If you want to bring a guest that is fine too just make sure they are comfortable in group rides and can hold the average pace advertised. Our main goal is to ensure everyone stays together and if someone falls off the back, sweepers are encouraged to bring them back to the group. We will also wait at stop signs to regroup as well if needed.
The Garmin routes are posted below and the 40 is the same as the 50 mile route with the exception of a turn on Keith Valley at around mile 31 so download the route you plan to ride and use it to call out turns so everyone is on the same page.
The parking area for this ride is between the Cohutta Mason Lodge and the Cohutta First Baptist Church parking lots we cannot park at the tennis court parking lot on Windwalker anymore.
