Taste of Alpharetta Leftovers

AO: Hoppylike

When: 2025-05-09

QIC: Tumbleweed

PAX (7): Beaker, Credit Check, DeLorean, lumbergh, Nacho Libre, Scar

Preamble:

Figured everyone would wake up hungry and want to run the streets of Alpharetta early the morning after the Taste of Alpharetta.  Time was tight, YHC chatted too much, DeLorean said time and off we went.

Warm-O-Rama:

Beaker and Nacho need no warmup as they were warm and took off at what must have been a five minute per mile pace.  The rest of us started off at a reasonable pace and discussed past Taste experiences.  Apparently none of us olds go anymore.

The Thang:

We ran down Thompson Street to the Alpha loop to Haynes Bridge.  Haynes Bridge to Academy through downtown with a left by the Alpharetta Vet, down Marietta St, back to Main St and Old Milton.  We picked up the Alpha loop again and rode it all the way to the end at Northwinds. Everyone loved the Northwinds hill and then a tour through Avalon to wrap up.

COT:

Prayers for friend of Lumberg's daughter who was in a pretty bad accident. Prayers for Credit Check's former Sunday school classmate whose wife passed. Prayers for all the Moms.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.  Always a pleasure and glad you like the route.
