For those interested in trying mountain biking for the first time, Atlanta Cycling will be providing a limited number of FREE mountain bike demos for riders! An MTB Beginners Clinic will be presented by the Sorella Cycling Race Team and led by our own MTB She-ra Deidre James. 

In addition to MTB riding options, we will be organizing and advanced road ride in the surounding Ball Ground area.  Sorella Rock Star Kim Nelson will be leading!!  This will be a 28 mile ride with 2400 feet in elevation. 

All rides will take place in the morning followed by a free catered lunch and raffle! Raffle prizes include Atlanta Cycling gift cards and an entry to the Hincapie Gran Fondo in South Carolina! You must attend the event to be eligible for prizes but do not need to be present at the drawing to win/ Please sign up for a ticket through Eventbrite if you are interested in utilizing one of the free rental mountain bikes being provided by Atlanta Cycling.

No! If you have a mountain bike, all you have to do is show up! We want everyone to have an opportunity to try mountain biking and encourage new riders without mountain bikes to take this opportunity to try it out by using one of the demo mountain bikes available from Atlanta Cycling. If road riding or gravel riding is your bigger interest, just show up with your bike ready to have a great time!
