Title: atlanta rides?
Post by: crash on September 19, 2005, 06:00:35 PM
can anyone suggest any nice riding places within 50mi (~1 hour) of atlanta?

i know about the apalachians, but 2.5hrs each way is a bit far for casual riding.

I used to live in ATL. My father and I would ride north of town in Cherokee Cty. I think the area is Blueridge??? or Charihola Parkway??

I live in Atlanta, but I haven't scoped any super awesome spots out yet.  There is a sorta-curvy road in roswell called riverside that runs right next to the chattahoochee, but a fair number of cars use it too, and you don't go all that far before you hit normal traffic (a few miles).

The best place to check for riding routes/locations is on http://georgiasportbike.net.  Lots of local riders on there who could probably give you the skinny on what you want

--EDIT-- fixed again (so that it actually works... thanks chiquita!)

Well it might take a few minutes to get there, but it is a good ride. I wish there were some good rides that close here in Dallas.
