Rides

A note about Zwift rides. This is not a resource for Zwift or virtual/e-rides, only in person rides. Please check with your favorite Zwift group on social media for rides and races. There are too many groups to list here.

Atlanta Area Group Road Rides
These rides are put on by various organizations and bike shops around the greater metro Atlanta, Georgia USA area. Some rides do not have a leader and are “pick up rides.” Contact the ride leader/shop/club to verify that the ride is still going on. Unless specified, these are hard training rides geared towards advanced riders and racers and those that have group riding experience. Aerobars or tri-bikes are not allowed on group rides. If you have them, do NOT ride in them in the group. Expect to be dropped and be on your own if you cannot keep up with the group. Beginner or no drop rides are specified in the description. Cycling is a dangerous sport. Southeastern Cycling, Trish Albert, and the sponsoring ride groups are not responsible if you get lost or hurt on these rides. You ride at your own risk and assume all responsibility for yourself and your equipment. All ride times given are Daylight Saving Time unless noted. Many rides stop after Daylight Savings Time ends. Check with the sponsoring organization for specifics about any rides. Please note that all times are PM (afternoon/evening) unless otherwise stated. The page is updated at the beginning of every Daylight Saving Time and throughout the year as we are made aware of ride changes. Most shops/groups have the GPS files available on their websites. Since ride routes change often, I am no longer posting these. Please check with your health professional before beginning cycling.

The Airport Ride: A Tradition Unlike Any Other, Sure, we ride the route in the spring and summer. And it’s fine. Sure, sure., but we all know The Airport Ride, the real one, runs from the first Sunday in November until the last in March. So it is written. So it shall be. Airport Opening Day Sunday, November 5th 10:00am roll time.This runs all winter long in place of The Sunday Ride rotation. May God have mercy on your soul. Trish’s Note: The Airport ride is a race pace **lls to the wall ride for very experienced riders and racers only. Not beginner or intermediate friendly in any way, shape or form. Expect a pace of 23+ mph. You will be dropped. Look into the Atlanta Winter Bike League for non-race base miles in a very controlled environment. Not the same as THE WBL in Athens.

Winter Pizza That said, some of the more troubled members of our community insist on plodding out to The Rock every Thursday at 6:00pm. Our unwell brothers and sisters roll into a cold, dark oblivion no matter the conditions. They call this “Winter Pizza”, others call it “Zombie ‘Za”. If you see one of them, point them in the direction of a local warming shelter, offer them a hot saucer of milk, enlighten them about the advent of “smart” trainers. If you’re cold, they’re cold!

West Oak Laps Join a group each Tuesday starting November 7th for some safe nightime winter miles under the lights at West Oak (weather permitting). This is NOT the MTNC. It’s a winter pace drop-in ride. There’s no official start time, so show up when you want and ride as long as you want. Lights are required.

Dirty Sheets Gravel Ride Join us on Tuesday nights during Daylight Savings Time through Christmas for a group ride at night on the Dirty Sheets brought to you by MTB Atlanta, Pro Bike Repair of Serenbe and Senoia Cycles. It’s our 7th Season running and we ride the Dirty Sheets at night!! This year we will be starting at MTB Atlanta HQ “Goode’s Camp.” Goode’s Camp is on Atlanta Newnan Road at 33.529617, -84.730463. Look for the MTB Atlanta flags at the end of the driveway and turn into the field to park. We will have lights, bathrooms and a fire pit so bring a camp chair if you want to hang out after! Be ready to ride at 6:30 PM and expect a 10-12 mph average over 20ish miles. 12/15/20 mile options. Please choose the appropriate route that you can finish in 1:30 hours or less.

You are required to have a handle bar light, a helmet light and a rear light. Wear appropriate hi vis clothing, be self sufficient and be able to handle a flat or a mechanical in the dark and be able to navigate back to your car on your own. You must sign a waiver to be on the ride. This ride has a great following and is an excellent way to stay in shape and enjoy some winter riding. If you like the Dirty Sheets in the day, you’re gonna love it at night. Hope to see you there!

Winter ‘Za Before the advent of such online mental health services as Better Help (Et al), a rag-tag group of PTN’ers decided to spawn a bastard version of PZA in the winter and continue rolling to the rock at 6:00pm every Thursday evening, in the dark and the cold. Some folks just can’t be reached. Get well soon, friends.

TUK you in, warm within It only took about three years to herd the cats and get (most) everyone on board with the summer 9:00a/9:05a TUK A/B split. So what we gon’ do? Go ahead and poke the bear again! Moving a half hour up to the 9:30a area is a bad trade. The full hour shift makes sense. Don’t worry, you can still fritter away yer afternoon and disappoint your family in all the usual ways, just an hour later.

TUK A @ 10:00am
TUK B @ 10:05am
Begins Saturday, November 12th

Atlanta Cycling Rides – Tuesday and Thursday at 4:30 from the Vinings shop for winter or “winter +” pace on the Vinings loop.

Spring 2022

ATL PTN RIdes
Nasty Northlake Tuesdays will be nasty once again. The always vicious Nasty Northlake (NNL) returns to its roots with the official start moved back to the eponymous Northlake location. Sometimes the old ways are the best. Here’s the Google Maps link to said location. The Northlake start rolls at 6:00pm but many who either live closer to Stone Mountain and/or those scurred of climbing Midvale at mach 1 congregate at the car was just outside of the Stone Mountain park entrance at around 6:30pm-6700-6672 James B Rivers Memorial Dr.

Beginning Saturday, April 2nd: Tucker A rolls at 9:00am with Tucker B rolling at 9:05am. Let the gnashing of teeth commence but…this structure allows for those riders on the cusp of becoming A riders to try their hand (once truly ready) and, if dropped, get scooped up by B shortly thereafter. TUK A is a no-holds-barred drop ride. TUK B is a challenging but steady ride that is not meant for surging or attacking. Here’s a basic TUK primer: If you struggle to stay on B, don’t start with A. If you are an A-level rider and want to blow B to bits for kicks GTFO.
