Routedetails

Before leaving Atlanta this route passes the iconic viewpoint of the Atlanta skyline, the Dr. Martin Luther King Memorial, Oakland Cemetery, Grant Park, and the Federal Penitentiary. The route courses straight south from Atlanta through historic Jonesboro then into rural Georgia. After Hampton the rider, almost magically, finds his way to Macon through the country. Departing Macon is the Ocmulgee National Monument and Indian mounds. Afterward ride to the site of destroyed Griswoldville and its sad battlefield. Then it's on through the Kaolin mining district of the Sand Hills to Irwinton and Georgia's bike hostel, the Blue Goose.  The next day cross the Oconee River and enter Georgia's coastal plain. Flat riding with expansive farms of row crops, cattle and pine trees defines this region. Be ready to chat with friendly farmers and shop owners. You will be a rock star... all the way from Atlanta! Arrive in Savannah after 6 days.

Spend the first two and a half days in the hills of the Georgia Piedmont. The third day is the physically challenging with the first half in the Piedmont and the second half of the day on the big Sand Hills of the Fall Line. Day 4 quickly leaves the Sand Hills and finishes on the flat Coastal Plain.  The final two days are flat Coastal Plain.
