Kid's Fun Ride

It was Rhonda's idea.

Rhonda has ridden with us on many Sunday mornings and she recently mentioned her middle-school son is interested in riding. A number of the Aurora Cycling Group have kids in middle-school, so we decided to do a ride for them and invite others along as well. The more the merrier.

We had planned to ride Saturday, Jan. 19, 10AM, but the forecast for snow that day made us reconsider. We now plan to ride Saturday, Feb. 2, 10AM from Aurora Coffee in Virginia-Highland (corner of Virginia and N Highland) and hit (or at least pass) the following spots:
- Carter Center
- MLK Center/Ebenezer Baptist
- Capitol (to dress the statue)
- Old Fulton County Stadium (to run the bases)
- Zoo (with bathroom break)
- Oakland Cemetery
- Cabbagetown
- Krog Street Tunnel
- Inman Park
- Little 5 Points
The planned route is posted on bikely.com.

Bring your camera. We'll be stopping frequently along this 14-mile route.



This is a beginners' level ride. We'll be moving at a speed that
accommodates all abilities and any working bike would be appropriate.

This ride is also good for those who do little or no street riding. It's a treat to ride on the streets sharing the road with motor traffic when riding with an experienced group. We'll have a short talk before we ride to let everyone know what to look for and how to signal for courtesy and safety.
