For all of you that may be interested in a ride to beautiful Lake Lanier, this is the ride for you! We will start at the downtown Buford area, where there is always a bunch of free parking available. We will head to the lake and back for a total distance of around 27 miles. The pace is around 16-17 mph with a total of about 1000’ of climbing. The traffic is moderate, so we will want to have good road riding etiquette. There will be an opportunity for the ride to regroup if necessary. This ride is open to Sorella‘s, friends of Sorella‘s and Sorella fellas who are comfortable riding at Sorella pace. Here is Christina‘s Strava link to the route: https://www.strava.com/activities/13760206354

In April, we‘ll begin with 15 miles and by October, our goal will be 50 miles to Rockmart and back. This ride is open to Sorellas and lady friends. Be ready to roll at 9 AM. Note that this ride will alternate between Saturday and Sunday mornings to hopefully allow for a time that meets your schedule. Please RSVP to let the ride leader know to expect you.

The Big Creek MTB Trails provide an escape to the woods right off GA-400 and Holcomb Bridge Rd. There are often deer and other wildlife sightings as well as trailside bicycle themed art. Join Betsy on the first Tuesday of the month for this NEW monthly ride. The ride will be at a social pace that will last for 1-1.5 hours and will cover the green, blue, and black trails except for the Troll Trail. There is also a skills area and pump track if anyone is interested in checking that out. The black trail has climbing and some advanced features that have ride-arounds. An intermediate level rider would be comfortable riding at Big Creek. If anyone drops back, Betsy will wait at the top of climbs and at intersections. As the weather is getting hotter, bring plenty to drink. If the riders would like, we can grab some food afterward. Please register for this ride so that Betsy can text you in the event that the trail is closed.
