Gnat Wheelie and Wormsloe Wheelie

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the May 18 Wheelie out at Grayson Stadium, Daffin Park, and Parkside. It was an eye opener for many folks who never knew the Police Memorial Trail existed. Now, if we could only get Phase II of the Truman Linear Park into construction (it’s been funded for years by SPLOST, but not yet out for bid by the county), one could take an off street ride from Lake Mayer to Daffin Park!

Grayson Stadium needs bike parking. This is not the first time a scene like this has appeared here. There is plenty of room for racks.

SATURDAY (not Sunday) June 14 brings the third installment of Savannah Wheelie, the social bike ride for Savannah from your friends here at Savannah Bicycle Campaign. The route this time includes the stunning lowcountry views of Wormsloe Plantation and Isle of Hope.

We’ll leave from the parking lot at Wormsloe Historic Site, 7601 Skidaway Road at around 11am. Saturday, June 14 works great, as this is a free day for Georgia State Parks, and therefore Wormsloe will be open to the public (and even us on bikes) at no cost! Stick around afterwards and bring a picnic!

UPDATE:  Check here for the Wormsloe Wheelie route — it’s a little over 6 miles, but you could shorten to 3 miles up and back the Wormsloe drive for the kids. For the more experienced riders, here is a 9 mile route from Forsyth Park to get to the start of the ride. As always, use your judgment and wear a helmet!
