Mayor's Ride to the Capitol - 2008

Tuesday March 11, police-escorted cyclists from Decatur and Roswell will be converging on the State Capitol for lunch. Hundreds of registrants last year got a free lunch. Registration for this event -- and your free lunch if you're among the first 2000 -- has just opened. I'm registrant #116. You can get details at http://www.georgiaridestothecapitol.org/

I'll be leading a group from Aurora Coffee in Virginia-Highland to the start of the Decatur group's ride. The Decatur route and time of departure match last year's route which left at 10:45AM from the East Lake MARTA station along Decatur and then jumped over to Edgewood upon reaching Inman Park. I will also escort a group back to Virginia-Highland along Edgewood to L5P and then up N Highland after lunch. The round trip is about 12 miles and is at an easy pace.

This is a good day to play hooky. Asking for time off to go ride a bike might infect your co-workers with spring fever. Hope you can join me.
