The ride begins at 8 a.m. at the "Old" Brooks fire station.�Riders

will be able to depart on the ride until 9 a.m. but the organizers are

hoping for a mass start at 8 a.m.�Last year Boy Scout troops�working

on the Cycling Merit Badge came and participated with their�troop leaders

to get the 25 or 50 miles required; it�was a great,�fun time to�ride.

Bicycles Unlimited is hoping to make this a community affair, with

local groups sponsoring the rest stops every 20 miles. Each rest stop

is to have a theme and the riders will vote on the best stop and a $50

prize will be awarded to that group. Churches, scout troops, businesses,

etc. are all invited to call Karen Anderson at 770-486-9252 to get more

information.

during the ride.
