Cartersville Ride

Today a group of us drove up from Atlanta to ride out of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Cartersville. The North Atlanta Riding Club (NARC) maintains marked routes starting at the brewery parking lot and running 12, 27, 45, 65, and 105 miles.

I had heard this area is blessed with some of the best biking roads in Georgia and after riding today, I'll have to agree. The weather -- 55-60 degrees and sunny in December -- was part of the great experience, but so were the rolling hills, numerous farms, ponds, mountain views, and wooded glades. The exuberance of riding pulled us along at one of the fastest paces I've ridden. I'm going to feel good for days.
