Join the newest Dunwoody Cycling group ride on Tuesday evenings. Let's "See and Be Seen" while having some fun in the Dunwoody/Perimeter area, by riding after the rush hour and even on some bike lanes, too.

* Roll at 6:30 pm
* Start & end at Mudcatz / Dunwoody Village
(5510 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd, behind Hickory House)
* For safety in twilight hours, please bring a taillight

PACE on flats is 17-19 MPH (will be a maintained PACE, and not an overall average. This is NOT a hammerfest).

We will regroup at key points, hilltops, etc. along the way.

Update from Morgan Falls Bike/Ped Bridge Meeting (6/17)

Posted Thu, 2009-06-25 14:52 by joe.seconder

I attended the Proposed Morgan Falls Bike/Ped Bridge meeting Wednesday night in Sandy Springs. (AJC Article here: http://tinyurl.com/nckq3m)

I also attended the first one in late April in Roswell with over 100 folks present and voiced my support. This meeting had around 50 attendees (+/-). There were several folks tonight with the NIMBY syndrome (not in my backyard) concerned about noise, litter, crime, access, etc. But there were a good number of supporters, including many bicyclists and several non-bicyclists (Grandpa & kids, Sharing Nature, etc.).
