The pace is around 12-14 mph. Rolling flat to gentle climbing terrain. This ride is beginner friendly and there are very few turns so you can‘t get lost.

No one RSVP‘d, and I‘m just recovering from a cold, so we‘ll try to do this on another date. Murder Creek https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35064650 Ride 3 of the series. Let me know if you would like some options to shorted the route. There is only one store stop on this route, almost at the very end of the route, so carry what you will need, as well as your recovery food for afterward! If you‘re available during the day, or can play cookie, join us on this gravel ride series. Often out of Serenbe, but the location can switch up, the first Thursday of the month (Dec - May). Rides vary between 30 to 62 miles. Routes will be posted in advance (please download them). These rides regroup, so having the route on your computer is highly recommended, especially on the longer routes. We ride in the cold (because we warm up quickly!), and sometimes in the wet (because weather happens). Occasionally I may need to change the date due to extreme weather or personal obligations, ALWAYS check the calendar to confirm the location, start time & postponements. Expectations: Ability & experience in riding gravel and single track with varying conditions and obstacles, to have a bicycle (gravel/mtb/cross) suitable for these conditions and properly maintained, to carry emergency repair supplies (tubes/air/plugs or patches/multi use tool,cell phone), and the ability to chat and laugh along the way. This is a ride, not a race, so we take care of each other! Non-members are required to register to sign the required waiver (if the waiver is not "up", just register). OR, make it simple and become a member by signing up on our webpage! Sorella Fella‘s are welcome on this ride! (A S/F is one of the riders guys whom she wants to bring along). *Expectations for S/F‘s, ride OUR pace, generally as a sweeper.

While waiting for warmer weather and longer days to return, to start riding outside again in the evenings, there is a great opportunity to serve those less fortunate in our community. Your Sorella sister, Kathy Masters, is a Volunteer Coordinator for Food for the Bashor Men’s Homeless Shelter (formerly known as the Central Night Shelter), which serves the needs of 90-100 homeless men in downtown Atlanta from November 1 through March 31, seven nights a week. This is an all-volunteer organization, and she works diligently to coordinate volunteers and make sure that the shelter guests have a hot meal each night, as well as breakfast bags and lunches. Please consider donating a couple hours of your time (6:00 pm to 8:00 pm) to join her in serving a hot meal to the shelter guests. She could use 2-4 volunteers each evening to help heat up and serve food that will be provided by the shelter, and minor clean up after the meal is served. Sorella fellas are welcome to join too. The time goes quickly and the men are always very appreciative. Please RSVP on the Sorella calendar or contact Kathy directly at 470-270-9231 so that she can provide more details about parking and access to the shelter.

This winter Laurel will lead a winter ride series at Silk Sheets in Chattahoochee Hills. This is a MEDIUM ride occurring on 3 separate dates where each ride gets progressively longer. This series is great for more experienced beginners who are looking to build endurance, or more experienced riders who want to start up those rusty winter legs. The ride pace is anticipated to be between 12-14 MPH. We will meet at the parking lot outside of Halsa at Serenbe. We’ll end with lunch or a warm beverage at Halsa (Sorella does not cover the cost.) This is fair weather only. If it’s raining, the ride will unfortunately be cancelled. If the temperature at the beginning of the ride is forecast to be below 40, the ride will be postponed to a later date. This is a women’s focused ride, however, Sorella friends and fellas are welcome by invitation. Please be sure to register. Text with any questions.
