10 & 20 Mile Ride | Although it rained a little, the cyclists went on a ride around the community. They returned with smiles and miles!

Lunch |Riders enjoyed a down-home BBQ meal that accommodated both vegans and meat eaters including salmon burgers, ham burgers, beyond burgers, chips, salad and don't forget the fruit salad!  

Games & More | The rain didn't steal our thunder!  We had a good time, chopping it up. Riders got together in teams and played trivia games and charades under the pavilion.    Competition off the bike is real!

Boogie Ride | Participants selected routes from 103, 63, 46, or 25 miles.  Yes, there was  a little elevation, but nothing these riders couldn't handle. Rest stops were fully supported. 

Rest Stops | We don't have regular rest stops, we  have stops with Rita's Ice, nice cold watermelon, pizza and beer!  Thank you to the establishments that opened their doors to us so that we could set up our rest stops,  Sandy Springs Slave Museum, Fruitful Juice Bar, Brookeville Beer Farm, Spencerville Local Park, Just Riding Along Bicycle Shop, and Adventure Park at Sandy Spring.  Special shout out to the DMV Caribbean riders that took on one of the rest stops.

Lawn Party | After the ride, GII hosted the Lawn Party at Capitol Technology University.  We had a delicious spread of food catered by RX Catering to include BBQ Chicken, Jerk Chicken, Vegan BBQ, Mac and Cheese, and more.  Music by DJ SinCity and live music by Let It Flow Band.  All of the guests got a chance to unwind and fellowship with the riders from different areas-  dance, eat, shop, and talk bikes all afternoon.
