Challenge the Hills of Roswell 27 Mile Ride Tuesday, Aug 24th 6pm @ RAP

Ride Description
We are doing the Roswell Ride on Tuesday 6pm leaving from the Roswell Area Park upper parking lot.  Starting at Roswell Area Park we ride through Historic Downtown Roswell.  We then take a few good hills followed by a ride down Riverside along the Chattahoochee, with a lot of good hills a long the way back to the finish.  See the map below for the 22 mile route and elevation profile.   Next week I'll post an updated map of the 27 mile route and elevation profile.

A & B Group
We usually break into an A and a B group.  I lead the B group and the A group is led by whatever fast people show up.  The A group is not no drop.  If you get dropped by the A group and don't know the route, stop, consider yourself in the B group, and we will be along shortly... 
The last few weeks, we have had a limited turnout of 6-12 riders.  It has been more like one big A group, all going as fast as we can...

Don't forget your running shoes and Taco Mac Passport! 
We do a short 1.5 - 3 mile run around RAP after the ride, before heading up to Taco Mac for some well earned refreshment. We expect to arrive at Taco Mac around 8:45pm this week due to the longer ride.  Taco Mac is located at 685 Crossville Rd in Roswell, GA.

Weather Guideline
It's currently forecasted to be partly cloudy and 84 degrees.  Last week we had some rain just before the ride.  Luckily the roads dried off and six riders held out hope and showed up for the challenge...  The precipitation held out and we ended up having had a great ride...  According to the current forecast we should be in for more nice weather this week. 

No Drop
The B group is a No Drop ride in case any of you want to ride but are not sure of yourself. 

Extra hills thrown in for free!
In preparation for Augusta in just a few weeks, we're going to change things up, and do the 27 mile route.  If anyone wants to do the shorter route, we'll all ride together up to the last couple miles where the longer route splits off. 

If you are up for the extra challenge, I hope to see you there!

Directions once you turn into Roswell Area Park
Go to the first street on your right which will take you up to the Community Activity Center where we park.  Generally we all park together in front of the Community Activity Building where there is access to Water and restrooms.  If there happens to be a swim meet or some other large puble event at the Community Activity center that day, parking may be limited in front of the building.  Just park anywhere and ride your bike over to the front of the building at 6pm.

I'm running Late getting to the Ride, how long will you wait?
If you make it into the community center parking lot by 6:00pm the group will wait for you to depart.  As a Triathlete, the expectaction is you will make a speedy transition to your bike in under 5 minutes!
