The Biking League

About The Trail:
They held the bike races for the '96 Olympics here. Need we say more?
FYI: You can view the trail map at https://cdn.saffire.com/files.ashx?t=fg&rid=GeorgiaHorsePark&f=263568_GIHP_Paper_Trail_Map(1).pdf

Meeting Place:
There are five different parking lots there. Please meet at the really big dirt parking lot with the white fencing in front of a large field that is just west of the big horse show complex.

Note: weather permitting, I may post an urban ride for later this afternoon.

Brown's Mill has several miles of trails with lots of whoops and flow. It is a little bit further away than usual, but makes a good change from our regular trails.

We’ve reserved the Pioneer Campground which can be used by up to 75 people. Come for all 4 days to camp out, ride bikes, or just swing by for a day trip or a night sleeping under the stars.

The campsite is adjacent to the mtb trails, super easy access, which we will do as part of the regular group ride on Saturday (RSVP to that separately). We will have a water source, fire pits, and picnic shelters, but no electricity or hot tubs. 😝

NEW MEETING SPOT FOR 4/6: I was told that parking at Ft Yargo will be packed on Saturday due to a festival at the fort, so for parking,

About The Trail:
Fort Yargo State Park is a 1,816-acre state park. It includes a 260 acre lake, a large swimming beach, fishing and boat ramps, and 20.5 miles of hiking and biking trails.

About The Ride:
Distance = We typically ride both the yellow and the blue trails
Time: Budget ~3 hours
Skill Rating = Moderate

Directions/Meeting Place:
Take 85 North to 316 East for ~ 15 minutes. Turn left at Highway 81 (you'll see brown signs for the park). The park will be a couple minutes up the road on the right. Please continue past the regular entrance on 81, then take a quick right onto Lee St. Drive less than 1/2 mile, then park near the bottom of the hill by the ball fields. There is a secret trail that gets us into the park from there so you don't have to pay the parking fee.

See you on the trail!
