A couple of weeks back, I spotted a new meetup group that was based out of my part of town which is rare. In Atlanta, it seems that most of the triathlon training either takes part in Buckhead (which is more or less downtown) or on the west side of town. Unfortunately, I live on the east side. I still partake in some of the groups around town but it is SO much nicer to have something right in your backyard.
Today, the group scheduled a ride from Stone Mountain over to Decatur and back. Perfect. I had been wanting to ride that route but didn't want to do it alone so was excited when the opportunity presented itself.
It ended up being a great day for a ride. We had about 5 people in all with varying riding skills. We had a lot of fun, a nice ride and I met a few new people to ride with. Thumbs up for the meet up! :)

I'm glad you came on out & enjoyed yourself. It was a good ride and a beautiful day. Yes, I poked around a bit to find your blog! Good stuff.
Looks like a beautiful day for a ride!
Glad you found a nice group and had a good ride!
That's so cool you've met up with some new groups! I really need to try to do that more. What a gorgeous day for a ride :).
Cool! I've done a few meetup things around Raleigh, it's pretty popular here too. That's a nice group for a ride!
wow, what a beautiful day for a ride! I'm jealous - we had rain all weekend.
Looks like a nice, happy bunch of people. It's great that you found a meet-up locally.
Very cool you found a group to ride with. A side bonus is you have more people to talk training with. I don't know about you, but most of my friends aren't into training so they aren't too interested in mine.
Yay for new cycling friends! I feel so much safer riding in groups plus it's fun!
