| Starting in Oakhurst, takes the PATH to the Piedmont Park then winds the hilly way just south of I-20 before shooting north, catching White Oak, Avondale, Scottdale, Bike South (reverse) route, and Superior to Decatur. It's 41 miles, and built for the attention-deficit types among us. |

| A non-Dekalb Ave. route from Decatur's city-center. It's seven miles to near the CNN center in downtown Atlanta.
Utilizes the W. Howard/Dekalb Ave. PATH route and the long on-street bike-lane on Edgewood Ave.
And, by Atlanta standards, this is a flat route -- just over 300 feet elevation gain each way. |

| Purposefully difficult terrain that meanders eastward to Stone Mtn. via Druid Hills, Decatur, and Clarkston, and returns, wiggly-style, via Avondale, the White Oak hills, East Lake C.C., and Oakhurst. Ridden with a group on a Sunday in December 2008. Quite a tough route. Very scenic and fun in parts, too, especially the winding, swerving part on Rupert/Fairlee/Carter south of Memorial there toward the end. |

| Goes south and east from Va-Hi, and features no shortage of climbing at 2000+ feet in 33 miles. A few gems (for scenery and curves) include Brannen, Whites Mill, and Porter roads. Of the 33 miles, two would be considered at all high traffic. Otherwise, a super route with no let-up in scenery, hills, and general swervy-curvy-ness. Very few traffic lights, too. |

| Route runs spring to fall, starting after the time change, at 6:30 from Bike South at the intersection of N. Decatur and Clairmont roads. This version cuts off the tail end (which takes East Lake to Ridgecrest to McLendon to Clifton, then toward Emory) because our house is before all that. |

| Virginia-Highland east; then south to Arabia and Panola parks; and returning via Fairview/Flakes Mill with a northwest jog before crossing I-20. Very pretty riding for the middle third. Around 3000 feet of climbing. Feels like more.
Best bits are the sweeping downhill on Singer Way, the parks' nature, Alexanders Lake road's sweet climbs, and the hidden gem Brannen Rd. |

| An intentionally hilly, in-town circle that weaves all over and aims for small-ring leg busters.
Highlights: Houston Mill hill; Coventry; blasting down Ormewood Ave.; Hillpine; and a hidden "gem" in Ansley Park. |

Forty miles o' fun. |

| Covering some great (and hilly) roads south of I-20 and inside the perimeter east, this ride truly has it all.
The part from Moreland Ave. to Clifton Church Rd. is particularly nice and memorable for its curves and swooping hills, both down and up.
Not the hilliest, at 2300 feet ascended in 36 miles, but some of the hills in there . . . brutes. Glendale Rd. north of N. Decatur, for instance. |
