Here are some of the favorite local rides that I've mapped. More will be added as I ride them. Check out the satellite image of the ride. The Garmin Edge 305 I use is so accurate that on an out and back you can tell which side of the road the bike was on!
Mountain Bike Rides
Rock Hawk Trail (http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/3957008)
Fun double track ride with a suprising amount of elevation gain. Traverses through scenic mature hardwood forest.
Selma Irwin MTB Trail (http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/3956557)
Intermediate to advanced trail with many short steep climbs and technical sections. Note rare red Oconee Azaleas in the spring - many wildflowers.
Merritt Homestead Trail (http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/3957007)
550 feet of climbing in 2.5 miles? Yep - it's a tough one located at the Merritt place. Please call before riding.
Bartram 4m Loop (http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/3959300)
Used by recreational riders and also as a dirt "short track" course by the local MTB race team.
Road Rides
Milledgeville Airport Ride (http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/3895848)
Local favorite. Little elevation change, pretty neighborhoods and low traffic.
Highway 112 - Wriley Rd - Liberty Church Ride (http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/3956574)
30 mile ride leaving nearly every day from CSH's pavilion. Plenty of hills and rollers. "Off the Wall" is a one mile climb with 3-11% sections. Hit 40mph+ going down "The Wall." Watch out for dogs.
Devereux - Island Creek Ride (http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/3956311)
Bud and Janice's fav road ride. Very little traffic in mostly open country side. One short hill hits 21% at the top! 2500 feet of climbing but miles and miles of flats and gentle rollers.
