The roads were surprisingly empty today. Went thru Cherokee, Pickens, Gilmer, Lumpkin, Dawson, Forsyth and back to Fulton county.

Wanted to go to Ellijay, have lunch and come back. But my time got shortened due to some work at home. Went to Ballground, had coffee and came back.

Beautiful sunny day and the roads in north Georgia mountains were empty and very enjoyable. Need some coffee now.

Finally solved the irritating rattling problem I was having.

I did not have enough time to put in a long ride. So, put in a short one and capped the day with a nice tea.

Time was a constraint though. Went for a 40 mile solo ride. One espresso – Italian style – at Copper Coin and rode back…

The Old Gang of Four came out for the first group ride this year. Rakesh took us thru the “lost route” to Ballground.

A little drafty though.
