International Christian Cycling Club

The Coppermine Loop

Saturday, 9:00 A.M.

Come join IC3Georgia for 54 or 69 miles of gorgeous, very low traffic country roads west of Atlanta. The terrain is mostly rolling with just one tough climb early in the route and one very fun descent. Store Stop at mile 28.

My group will average between 16 and 17 and will regroup after the first climb. We might have a faster group show that will just regroup at the rest stop. Both routes are marked and maps are provided.

Ride starts at the Rockmart Square. Lunch at Frankies after the ride.

Expect a 45 minute drive from Marietta Square and about an hour from 285 and midtown.

If the weather is questionable, check the latest posts on www.atlbike.org for last minute updates.

Any cancellations will be posted by 7:00 A.M.

Any questions please feel free to contact me.
