Awesome! Would love to get down there. I spent tons of time in the ATL area in my younger years- had no idea those trails where there…..gah!

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who can’t seem to make it up that big hill on the Granite Loop. It seems doable, but for some reason the last 10 feet just get’s me every time!

I second what dgaddis said, I really want to ride there!

I noticed the 24 hr race was back to. I think doing one of those as a team would be way fun!

I haven’t ridden there yet, REALLY need to get over there.

And FYI – 24hrs of Conyers is BACK!…sorta. New group of folks running the event. Chainbusters is doing it, and they put on some great races.

I’m going, want to ride on a 4 person team. Haven’t actually set up a team yet tho.

Wow, so were the bikes. And I liked the little, ‘this is a road bike, this is a mountain bike’ tutorial at the beginning. Otherwise I could never tell them apart.

I was there the next day, hopefully it doesn’t take too long for the reroute on the granite side to get a little more worn in.

Here’s a fun video from 1996: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfFi0xQbc_o The trails were a liiiittle different than they are now!
