Thanks.
Looking at the map, how about the road between Greensboro and Athens...it goes through the Oconee National Forest?

Don't know offhand. I'm sure I've been on the road before, but it's been a long time. Call the forest and see if anyone there can tell you about the condition of the road. It'd probably be a pretty ride.

Mr. Silver, when in June?
One of my favorite routes goes right over the lake - GREAT riding in that area. Look at the Partner's Century route: http://www.spinforkids.org/route.html
Another great ride in that area is the Covington Century route, Tony Serrano, and the Wilson 100, all in that area.
Let me know when you're coming, and I could get a group to ride with you!For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

Cool! It's Thursday June 11 to Sunday June 14 (maybe you can help me talk Silver into coming since our kids will be in Europe). Sunday, we may coordinate timing and plan on getting SilverSon at the Atlanta airport, so that may be tough as well...
I won't have total flexibility in my schedule since I'm there for business, but I'm pressing them to plan their "golfing window" so I'll know when I can plan to ride...If you don't grow where you're planted, you'll never BLOOM - Will Rogers

Well, I'll know in a few days if I'm in Ride The Rockies -- lottery results will be out in a day or two. Of course, if I get in, I'll be out of town that weekend.
There's a route that's almost identical to the one I sent a link to, but I only have a hard copy. PM me your address and I'll mail a copy. Plus, I'll find the other routes in that area.For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

Here are a few in that area:

Oh! Here's the one I prefer: http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/692750
There is just one stretch, about 1/4 mile on a busy road, but there's a shoulder, then a left - just be careful crossing. There are route markings for both routes - this one is a circle with an arrow in it, and you can cut off the upper loop to give you a 70-ish loop.
Do a search in Motionbased for Madison, Ga and Rutledge.For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
