Fort Gordon Group Rides (Sundays)

"Little-To-No Traffic Group Ride"

If you have questions simply post a message on the Augusta Road Cyclists on Facebook .





All cyclists are welcome, but this is NOT recommended for absolute beginners, really, it can hurt, but it’s fun! There’s upwards of 1,900 feet of climbing depending on the route we take, but we won’t leave anyone behind either; most of us are friendly too, at least on Sundays. ☺

We welcome lady cyclists too. There’s too much testosterone on our rides. Okay, we admit it, we need more class on the rides and the guys tend to get lost... and they won’t ask for directions.  Just kidding, we don’t ALL get lost.

There’s very little traffic on this ride. Some days we may only have a single car pass us, and if they do, the posted speed limit is 25 – 35 MPH. So come on out and have some fun socializing with other local riders. We have fast, medium, and slower fun groups. So we mix it up quite a bit.

WHEN:  Usually 1:30 PM on Sundays, weather permitting.  Always double check the times though.  During the summer we may have morning or evening rides.

Porta Potty and/or bathroom may be available.

Where to Meet:  At the Gordon Catering Center parking lot on 19th Street & Brainard Ave on Fort Gordon.

Easiest directions: 
If you enter from Gate 2, (off of Gordon Hwy in Grovetown), it puts you on 19th Street, so it's a straight shot from the gate to the Gordon Catering Center, about ¼ mile past the traffic light at Chamberlain Ave. Parking lot will be on the right.

Easy Directions: 
If you enter from Gate 1, (Diaz Pkwy & Gordon Hwy), you stay straight on Chamberlain Ave. Drive down to 19th Street and turn LEFT at the traffic light. Stay on 19th street for ¼ mile; Gordon Catering Center is on the right.
