Just getting out and riding a lot goes a long way to help you improve. If you feel like you need more than that, classes can help. The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition offers some classes. I have heard that some local coaches are offering group classes as well. I don't have any personal experience with any of them but, if you are interested, PM me and I'll send you some contact info.

When I first started riding, I found that I improved quite a bit just by getting out and doing group rides. It can be frustrating if you get dropped a lot but that can also be an incentive to ride faster. Atlanta Cycling has a couple of beginner group rides. There is also a pretty comprehensive ride calendar on the Southern Bicycle League site.
