Subject: RE: New website - bikealpharetta.combrown_dog_us - 2009-06-26 7:37 AM That is a great idea! Your website and the first route looks good. Here are my suggestions: - Get a bike shop involved. They can help you set up routes and get volunteers.
- Get Alpharetta involved. You'll need permission to paint the road correctly and their parks and road department can help you implement it and get the word out.
- Limit your site to 4 or 5 good routes that are part of the larger route. One of the things that makes the Roswell Route work is the number of cyclists on the route. I saw over 100 riders Saturday morning in my first 30 miles.
- Connect the Alpharetta Route to the Roswell Route. I get giddy with all the different distances and types of rides I could create.
- Let us know what we can do to help. There are a ton of people here and on other sites that would lend a hand if you ask.
Combining number 5 and 1, Doug, you should open a bike shop in Alpharetta. There are none. LOL That's a really good list. I agree, my plan is to post 4 routes. 27 miles, 38 miles, 50 miles (posted ) and 80 miles. Beyond that, I plan to show how one can connect up to the Roswell routes and routes up in Cumming. One issue I see with getting the city of Alpharetta involved is that the routes go into Milton, Cherokee, etc. For Bike Roswell, other than Mountain Park, it's mostly Roswell. So in that respect, I'm not sure I see this becoming the full on advocacy group that Roswell is (I certainly DO NOT want to become Eric Broadwell ). |
