Guest mikethaninefive Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I've been in Woodstock,GA since right after Thanksgiving and I'll be here until June so last week I made a trip home to see my kids and get my bike :) My question is- where near Woodstock, GA are there decent roads to ride? I'd like some favorite routes that I could ride when I get out of work at 5:30 or some longer ones for the ocassional weekend off. :) Thanks!

Guest Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I live just North of you in Canton (Bridgemill to be exact). LOTS of great roads in the area within 30 minutes. Take Bells Ferry north, left on Butterworth, left on GA 20, right on GA 108. Fun road, then there are some good backroads out there. Burnt Mountain up in Jasper is only 30 mins or so away too and much fun with a great view up top. You aren't far from Red Top either over along Lake Allatoona. Best to just look on Google maps, take the smartphone, and go explore. I'd be willing to give a guided tour provided I can get some FREE time. Between work and my son's baseball season I have none lately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That would be awesome but I have little free time as well, Those sound like good rides though, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Oh6PearlVFR Posted March 20, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm in Woodstock as well. I like taking East Cherokee up to Hickory Flat, right onto Hickory Flat - straight onto Broadwell Road. Runs you out to N Alpharetta and the Birmingham Hwy, Providence Road, Freemanville road, are all fun roads to run on. If you continue up onto Hwy 20 via East Cherokee (stay straight) Waterpump road is a blast off of east cherokee. Hit us up if you are free and want to ride.

Member Contributer RollinAgain Posted March 29, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted March 29, 2012 Lemme know if you want to ride and I'll take you on a mountain run and buy you the best damn burger you've ever eaten. I'm about 40 minutes east of you. We can be in the mountains in less than an hour. Rollin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer RollinAgain Posted March 31, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted March 31, 2012 Where's this burger? That would be a Yonah Burger just outside of Helen! I just wish the darn place was open on Sunday since that is the day I prefer to ride. Rollin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer KevCarver Posted March 31, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted March 31, 2012 Shoot! I prefer Sunday too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I just found this post again,lol That burger sounds great! I was in Helen today, I went for a ride and ended up meeting a former VFR rider at a gas station in Suches. I warned him I was a slow rider and found out I was even slower than I thought,lol He was very patient though. If you guys don't mind riding with a turtle I have weekends off now and would love to put something together :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer wrestler Posted April 11, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted April 11, 2012 You see by now how lucky you are to be down here with your bike. I can ride on Fridays and most Sunday afternoons (not this one coming). Welcome down. Have you discovered Bike NIghts at the Vortex of Thursdays yet? Stay away from that Rollin guy. He's trouble.

Rollin I'll have to give Yonah a try sometime. Normally I stop at Creekside Deli in Cleveland. You can usually sit on the patio outside and watch the bikes cruise through on their way to Blood Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That all sounds awesome! This Sunday a friend from work and I are going for a ride with the route to be determined, I'll update tomorrow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Also, first a disclaimer- I do not try to ride outside my skill level or feel I need to keep up if I'm not comfortable. That being said, what is the rough average speed you more experianced riders are hitting on the twistier parts of 60 and 180? Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
