Ride Description:

Recreational ride with Gary, Mike and Neal from Euharlee, Cedar Town to Rome. Other getting a little lost in Rome we had a great time with a challenging route. Just wished my G3 power meter battery had not died midway through. There were some challenging rolling hills.

Great group of guys to ride with and thanks to Gary for putting the route together.
