Gone

Those whole 10 days in Atlanta.....GONE. That is one hell of a nice town!! My plan to blog daily fell apart...We parked the van when we got there, and never used it again for 8 days. Very pedestrian friendly, also bike friendly ( they drive fast, but they're nice, IF YOU FOLLOW THE RULES). There were a lot of BAD cyclist down there. It was very hilly for cycling ALL the time!! It is the #2 reason more locals dont ride. We rode a path from near downtown, all the way out to Stone Mountain. (24 miles one way) There is this huge rock out in nowheres land?? Massive relief statue in the rock that makes Rushmore seem small. We rode the 6 mile "loop" of the park....WOW!! Shaded most of the way around, one lane for traffic, a bike lane, a runner lane, and a sidewalk.. It was as close to heaven as I've been on a bike, ever....then we rode back to downtown (24 miles). We felt the Decatur area was what we were looking for. Unlimited job potential. I want to duplicate what we wanted to do here. What do you think of when you hear urban guide??
