Atlanta Group Road Rides
These rides are put on by various organizations and bike shops. Some rides do
not have a leader and are "pick up rides." Always check with the ride leader, if
there is one, for a ride map. Call the ride leader or shop to verify that the
ride is still going on. Unless specified, these are hard training rides geared
towards advanced riders and racers and those that have group riding experience.
Aerobars are not allowed on group rides. If you have them, do NOT ride in them
in the group. Expect to be dropped and be on your own if you cannot keep up with
the group. If you want a more relaxed ride or are a beginner, the
Southern Bicycle League hosts rides for all levels of cyclists. Cycling is a
dangerous sport. Southeastern Cycling, Trish Albert, and the sponsoring ride
groups are not responsible if you get lost or hurt on these rides. You ride at
your own risk and assume all responsibility for yourself and your equipment. All
ride times give are Daylight Savings Time unless noted. Many rides stop after
Daylight Savings Time ends. Check with the sponsoring organization for specifics
about any rides.

Spring 2009
Weekday World Championships Rides Daylight Saving Time begins on
Sunday 03/08/09 at 02:00 AM As such, below is the official ride schedule for
the weeknight “In-Town Classics” - the Tuesday night “Sandy Springs Ride”,
the Wednesday night “Peachtree Battle Ride”, and the Thursday night
“Chastain Ride” - plus the Saturday “Tucker Ride”.
Please note the following:
* The In-Town Classics will start at 06:00 PM for the first two weeks, at
06:15 PM for the next two weeks, and then move to the regular 06:30 PM slot
effective 04/07/09.
* Sandy Springs will be “Short Option” for the first eight weeks. “Long
Option” starts effective 05/05/09.
* The In-Town Classics will be “Tempo / Winter Pace” for the first four
weeks. This specifically precludes attacks on the Northside Drive climb on
the Sandy Springs ride. If you want to do intervals, go somewhere else.
“Show me what you’ve got night” is 04/07/09, and you can wail all you want
thereafter.
* When Sandy Springs goes to Long Option, Vinings is a “neutral zone” from
the top of the third hump to the library on Paces Ferry. This rule was
invoked two years ago due to the obvious danger of new construction and
congestion in the area. Do not advance your position, and do not pass cars
queued in traffic - re-group in the neutral zone and resume after the
library.
* Tucker will continue to start at 10:00 AM for the first three weeks, then
move up one hour to 09:00 AM effective 04/04/09.

cities get to enjoy. Let’s retain the privilege.

2008-2009 Airport Ride Info. from Scott Hilburn ("Chisel"): Beginning
11/4 and continuing through the last Sunday in March 2009 the Airport Loop ride
will start at 10 AM from the Trinity Lofts area just off Peachtree on Trinity.
There are 43 and 63 mile options. Terrain is flat to slightly rolling with no
climbs. The ride rolls easy for the first 11 miles and stops for a nature break
as we take a left off 29. The 43/63 mile split is usually the point where the
speed will increase. The 63 mile option takes a left just over the
railroad tracks and will include one store stop in Palmetto before heading back
to ATL on 29. The 43 mile option stays straight with no store stop and will
eventually take a right back on to 29 for the ride home. This is a great ride
for newer riders and experienced age groupers and pros trying to build all
important Fall/Winter base miles for the 08 cycling/triathlon season and those
wanting to become more comfortable riding in close quarters of the peleton.
