Next week is Thanksgiving week. I will not be in town for the Weekend Warm-up on Friday. That means the ride is open for any route changes you may want to make. I have not heard of any other changes to the weely schedule.

For tomorrow morning's 7:30 ride, weather.com forecasts 44 degrees and a 20% chance of rain at the start. By 10:00, the temperature should be up to 50 with no increase in the chance of rain. Dress appropriately.

Come out and join us on one of our regularly scheduled group rides. We have multiple skill levels, paces and many are "No Drop" rides. So if your looking for a friendly competitive group ride, come on out!

Road Bike for sale - really it's a complete package especially for someone
getting into the sport- It isn't designated women's specific but I am female and
can tell you it would probably be great for someone 5'4-5'7 or so- it was set up
for commuting - touring (drivetrain) last year

Here's the breakdown-

Specialized Allez (originally a 2002 or 2003) double butted Alum Frame -
measures 49/50 (I'm 5'6" and it fits me well)
New Carbon Fork, New cassette (12/27) new chain, new touring crank
Was upgraded in 2005 to new black 105 shifters and brakes (9 speed)
Basic Wheels but they are true
Stainless bottle cages come with
Shimano Flight Deck computer comes with - I love this computer
Matching red under-the-saddle bag comes with
bright rear flasher on bag comes with
Road Bar-end flashers come with
entry level rechargeable niterider headlight comes with
Choice of Used Ritchey V4 Comp SPD-compatible pedals, or Look-compatible road
pedals with ti spindles come with
Bike was set up for commuting last year so I put an 18 deg stem on it - I have
other stems if buyer would prefer something different
just took pics last night - email me if you would like them

It's a complete bike and set up so it's $400 - that is non negotiable because
I'd rather keep it and trying to negotiate would be all the incentive I needed
to know I should keep it. It was my first road bike and I've always loved it,
but my evil HOA is making me keep all my bike stuff inside, off my covererd
deck, and something has to go. This bike has been ridden and enjoyed - about
5,000 miles before swapping shifters and brakes, then about 2,500 before
changing the crank, chain, cassette and fork last year. It has some scratches,
no dents, and bar phat gel under the bar tape. It's getting freshly tuned today
and as I said, the wheels are true and all is in good working order

If you are going east on Spalding from the fire station towards Ball Mill, when you get to the bottom of the hill past that big field on the right (where there are (or were) some soccer goals) there is a street with a sign that says "private road". Go up that hill! It is about 1 mile long with the last quarter being quite tough. It dead ends into a cul-de-sac so you just coast it out.

The other "fun" hill is Cochise (sp?). It is over in Vinings and is pretty damn tough. You can do repeats there by starting at the bottom (intersection of Cochise and East Paces) near Canoe restaurant (near where Paces Ferry crosses the river), ride Cochise all the way until it intersects AGAIN with Paces Ferry. Turn left and ride down the hill to Cochise again. Rinse. Repeat.

have fun...

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

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.

Wouldn't exactly call that a "night" ride. Would love it if it started around 8pm or so. Speaking of...Mike Smith and I have done a few genuine night rides in Dunwoody recently, so there are still some of us interested in doing that. So by all means, speak up if there are others.

Tomorrow night, Monday 11/15 at 7 pm at City Hall the Dunwoody City Council will receive the first reading of a proposed Resolution /Action Plan to become a bike-friendly community. This was submitted by the Bike Taskforce about a month ago.

Can you please attend the meeting to voice your support? You could also introduce yourself to the new Director of Public Works, Michael Smith (don’t yet know the history of Richard Meehan’s departure).

Unfortunately, I will be travelling out of town and will be unable to make the council meeting tomorrow. Please help our group efforts and carry the torch!!

Thanks and have a great upcoming week!!

Ask the Obama administration to get behind Complete Streets!

Please consider signing the on-line petition.

Thanks,

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
Transportation for America
