Dunwoody bicyclists ride to the Capitol

You can join nearly 2,000 area cyclists for the “Georgia Rides to the Capitol Event” that supports bike safety.

A Dunwoody group will depart at 9:45 a.m. at the Fresh Market in Dunwoody Village at 5515 Chamblee Dunwoody Road.

The group will leave the Fresh Market and travel a police-escorted route along Mt. Vernon to link up with riders along Roswell Road on their way to the Capitol.

The pace will be a leisurely 12 mph, but novice riders and families can join a five-mile ride that leaves from the East Lake MARTA station in Decatur.
