DunwoodyCycling : Messages : 4098-4127 of 4146

There is a climb that I hit on my way to work everyday.� Not sure how it compares against the others here.

Coming out of Cochran Shoals near 285, turn left, cross the bridge, pass the other park parking then the next left (on the right is 285) is the entrance into RiverEdge Parkway NW.� Very nice climb there.� Go all the way to the end, turn right, then right again and then back down to the entrance again and then do it all over.

If you want to find it on google maps or yahoo, look for
2100 RiverEdge Pkwy, 30328.

Happy climbing

One pretty close to Dunwoody is the hill from the bottom of the Huntcliff Swimming pool and Equestrian center.� I think it is about a mile.� The first part is the steepest grade I have seen in North Atlanta.� Huntcliff also has some decent hills and rollers if you want do some laps.� Huntcliff is about a mile north of the Northridge exit on 400 on Roswell road on the left.

Oh yeah, there is also Mt Park in Roswell. It's a hogpen-like hill (shorter of course). Harder than Cochise.

Wallace,

Can you post this to the Dunwoody group? I've tried to enter it as a ride on the SBL site but it apparently needs to be reviewed/approved by someone before it shows up.

Jack Hondred put together a great route last year that we will follow again this year. The ride is on Thanksgiving morning starting at 9:00AM. The start location is behind the Brookhaven Marta station at the intersection of Apple Valley Road and Fernwood Circle NE.

This is a nice 22 mile route with a few climbs. Plenty of time to do the ride and get back home for lunch.

Here is a map of the route:

My favorite that is fairly close by (Johns Creek) is what my group refers to as Aberdeen. It is Laurel Springs Parkway eastbound between Peachtree Parkway and Old Atlanta Rd. The climb is about 1/2 at between 13 and 17%. It's great for hill repeats.

Subject: Only one day left to demand safer streets

Joseph,

Since I wrote you Monday, we have some exciting news to share: My team has just scheduled a meeting with U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to discuss pedestrian safety.

It's a great chance to get the administration on board with addressing a glaring problem with our streets. Each month, on average, more than 400 pedestrians are killed in America - that's roughly the equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing every single month!

We need our meeting with Secretary LaHood to make a big impression - so we're going to deliver our "Demand Safer Streets!" petition to him in person during the meeting.

Please add your name before MIDNIGHT tomorrow so we can deliver your signature on Monday along with thousands of others we've already collected from people across the country.

- Ilana

Dear Joseph,

Poorly designed roads like the one below are at the heart of pedestrian deaths.

More than 76,000 Americans have been killed while crossing or walking along a street in their community in the last 15 years.

Today, our new report shows many of these "accidents" have one thing in common: They happened on roadways that were "Dangerous by Design" - engineered for speeding traffic and little or no provision made for people on foot, in wheelchairs, or on a bicycle.

The good news is that we can fight the problem at the root with strong leadership and more resources from the White House for "Complete Streets" - streets designed with all road users in mind.

Ask U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to make safer streets a priority!

One-third of Americans either can't drive or choose not to. Yet, most communities around the country are laced with roads that are inhospitable, at best, to people traveling by foot. Children, older Americans, and minorities are especially at risk.

In the 52 largest metro areas annual spending of federal funds on bicycle and pedestrian projects averaged just $1.39 per person!

Nationwide, less than 1.5 percent of funds authorized under the current federal transportation law have been spent on projects to improve the safety of walking and bicycling. It's a ridiculously low figure when you consider that pedestrians comprise 11.8 percent of all traffic deaths and trips made on foot account for almost 9 percent of total trips.

We need a new approach to safety - one that makes sure that all transportation projects take into account the needs of everyone traveling on the roads, not just motorists. In Congress, the Complete Streets Act of 2009 would do just that, and similar policies are being adopted in states and cities across the country.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has already proven his strong interest in safety with a distracted driving initiative and his creation of a new Safety Council. Because the Department of Transportation holds the purse strings, if Secretary LaHood adds Complete Streets to his list of safety priorities, we can ensure that every road project takes into account the need for safe travel by everyone - including vulnerable pedestrians.

Ask the Obama Administration to take up the call for safer streets!

Changing the status quo is never easy, but with your help we can make our streets safe and accessible for everyone. Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

Ilana Preuss
National Outreach Director

Just don't touch your plastic water bottle with your bare skin or breathe near it and you'll be fine.

If anyone is in this part of the State, Sunday, November 22, here's a beautiful country ride with local, farm-fresh food.

Tour de Louie

Metric Century and Half Metric Century on November 22, 2009 in Louisville, Georgia, located 45 miles south of Augusta, GA. Mass start at 9 a.m.

The ride is through beautiful Mennonite farmland and has rolling hills mixed with flat pasture-land scenery as well. The road surfaces are smooth with many roads recently repaved. Absolutely no shake and bake on the ride! The Half Metric is easy to moderate in elevation, but out of shape riders can certainly finish with only slight difficulty. The Metric has one or two challenging elevations. Car sightings are rare, probably 10-15 cars for the entire ride. We offer SAGS every 15 miles with fruit and danish from the local Mennonite bakery, water and gatorade. Our SAG Wagons patrol continuously and follow up the last rider.

A great feature of the ride is the lunch included in the registration fee. We serve local fare: fresh pulled pork barbecue, potato salad, pasta salad, green beans, fruit and desert---caramel apple cake. All this for $30.00!!

Mail the registration & release form back ASAP to Jean Miller 2674 Sylvan Grove Rd Stapleton, GA 30823
If registering on site, please call/email a couple of days ahead to let us know…we want to have enough food for you
Registration & release attached.
