Reminder: Georgia Rides To The Capitol is Tuesday
The 21-mile ride from Roswell City Hall to the Georgia State Capitol starts Tuesday morning.
It may take you a while longer to drive along Highway 9 throughout north Fulton County tomorrow.
That's because the Georgia Rides To The Capitol bike ride will kick off tomorrow in Roswell.
The bikers will peel out at 9:45 a.m. at Roswell City Hall and travel the 21-mile route southbound along S.R. 9/Atlanta Street and continue through Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Midtown Atlanta until they make their way to the State Capitol.
The annual event is a partnership with the Metro Atlanta Mayors Association, Georgia Bikes! and other sponsors who participate in the group ride to raise support for the development of a regional bicycling network.

- Linda Blechinger, Auburn
