Heels on Wheels

Posted Mon, 2010-01-04 15:31 by rebecca

*Next date: Saturday, May 1* - 1st Saturday of the month!

Ah, spring, and a girl's thoughts turn to heels - heels and wheels. I love biking in heels so much, and I want to share! Get heeled, get your ride, and let's enjoy the lovely weather together!

(This ride is always super no matter how much it rains, or snows, or sleets, but I've decided to set a permanent rain date for the following Saturday.)

ABC Fun Ride
Monthly on 3rd Sunday @ 10:30 AM
Designed for beginning cyclists, those new to group riding, or the cyclist who is looking for a slow, socially oriented jaunt through our intown neighborhoods.

NEW: Jails, Trash, and McAfee Road

NEW RIDE: Jails, Trash, and McAfee Road
Feb. 28, May 23, and Oct. 24 – all at 9 AM

A NEW training ride from the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition! Starting at Manuel's Tavern, this intown tour will take us past multiple incarceration facilities, a landfill, and the little-known McAfee Road. Of the three, only McAfee poses a threat to you – with 6 steep hills packed into a straight-as-an-arrow 3.3 mile stretch. This ride has some great lightly-traveled sections of road, yet never ventures outside of I-285.

Stone Mountain Bike & Hike

Stone Mountain Bike & Hike
Jan 24, Jun 27, Aug 22, 2010 and Jan 23, 1011 @ 9 AM

The Stone Mountain Bike and Hike combines the joy of cycling from L5P to Stone Mountain with a hike up the mountain.

The Bike and Hike is about 30 miles total on the bike done in two stages (there and back) and a 1.5 mile hike up the mountain and 1.5 miles coming down.

Stella's Gap

This hilly ride goes through some of the best roads you will find anywhere inside I-285.

Ride posting policy

Posted Wed, 2009-03-25 15:49 by rebecca

So you are planning an amazing ride, and you'd like to promote it on ABC's website. Understandable. But as you might imagine, we get swamped with requests to post rides on our site. What you might not realize is that we are a very small nonprofit with a tiny staff, so our policy is to only post rides that are organized by ABC, offer ABC members a discount, or benefit our programs financially.
