Spring is coming... and so are our weekly group road rides! Beginning March 17th, meet us at the Hickory Flat Publix (intersection of Hwy 140 and E. Cherokee Drive) at 6:30pm every Wednesday and at 8am on Saturdays for our weekly tour of the Hickory Flat area. The "Classic Loop" is 31 miles, but will be shortened for the first few weeks of the ride, due to lack of daylight. There will be different categories of riders, so everyone is welcome!
We'll also be starting up our Saturday Morning Beginner Ridebeginning on March 20th. It starts at 7am at the same location. This ride is perfect for those new to riding on the road or just getting into the sport.
For information about any of these group rides, please call Out Spokin' Bicycles at 678-483-0200.
Currently, we have THREE group road ride option throughout the week for cyclists:
This ride leaves from the Hickory Flat Publix (at the corner of East Cherokee Drive and Hwy 140 in Canton, GA 30115, for you GPS-types!). We'll have more rides on the schedule when the time changes back, it's not so cold, and we have a little more daylight on both ends.
If you need any other information about any rides, please contact Josh at josh@outspokinbikes.com.
Our group road rides are becoming so popular that we're having some growing pains! We're trying to get a few more folks to help chaperone the group rides, whether it be leaders, sweepers, or moderators that fall somewhere in between, we need help!
Everyone can't be around every week, so we're trying to get on a rotating schedule so we're always covered and can grow this ride to the biggest thing that has hit the area in a long while!
If you're interested in volunteering, please send an e-mail to josh@outspokinbikes.com so we can get you on the e-mail list! Thanks for all your help!
