The Scenic Route

Today Jeremy, Matt, and I decided to work out and experiment with a new way to get to work. First thing in the morning we met up and ran GATech's π mile (3.14 miles). Then instead of our normal drive, we took our bikes on MARTA, Atlanta's train system, and then from the northmost station, North Springs, road our bikes 10.5 miles to office. Needless to say, we also reverse the ride on the way home. There were some tough hills, particullary on the way there, but overall it was a good ride. It wasn't much worth the time it took, but it was fun once. Now my legs are so tired I may never want to walk again.

That's pretty beefy...how did you get from the north springs station on to any bikeable roads? I thought the only way out of there was back on to 400.

You should've gone to the varisty for breakfast..it'd give you all the energy you need.

No there are plenty of local roads around that station. The trick is, we needed to cross the Chattahoochee river and there were only a couple ways to do that. We had to take some local streets, cross 400, get on Roswell Rd until we crossed the river, then take Riverside to cross back under 400, and then Take Old Alabama to Mansell where I work. See a map which I've added to the post.
