Anytime you want to go riding throw me a message. I will pm you my email address. I am close enough to your area that I can jet up there.

Welcome to two wheels! My wife and I both ride and we're near Colins Hill HS - just give me a shout via private message.

Congrats!
Just remember this: if you think you're going into a turn too fast, don't brake hard - don't brake at all. Always look way ahead, not directly in front of where you're going, lean more and you'll make the turn.
Enjoy!

Welcome to the site.
On almost every weekend at the end of GA-400 there are groups leaving at 9am and 10am from either the shell and/or chevron. Ride your pace, someone will wait if needed at the turns.
I like going up 985 to 54 to 129 myself-that's the way we're leaving tomorrow at 0600.

Wicked says there's one at HWY 20 & 316 but I was thinking of the one in Lawrenceville at
355 Grayson Highway (I think).

Hey Dizzle, today and tomorrow night I can ride street, the loop or other interesting spots. For the dirt again today and Friday, of course night riding in the dirt would be interesting too. Places for dirt riding, FS roads near Suches, a short hop through Dawson and just about any other area, perhaps Whizzy. Let me know your plans, take care.
