The Road Biking Season Has Officially Started

In the southeast United States, we finally hit daylight savings time and the promise of more riding as the weather gets warmer and it stays light outside longer. Normally, we get to ride through the winter as wickedly cold days are few and far between, but…this year…has been filled with nothing but rain, snow and ice as we tried to get off the trainer, out of the gym and on the road. Unfortunately, that did not happen nearly enough and the prospect of the real cycling season starting has everyone itching for a ride…badly.

Weekly Group Rides

With the time change to include more daylight hours, we can finally start up our weekly, after work hours road rides in north Atlanta. What better way to start off the season with a demo fleet, a band, beer and dozens of obsessed cyclists all together at once?! Reality Bikes in Cumming, GA (my favorite shop actually) throws down for the first ride of the year by having a ride, food, beer and giveaways to spark the riding season off right.

Last night, I wasn’t able to make it up there in time for the ride, but I captured some of the nights events as the rain rolled out and left dry roads for everyone involved with the group ride.

Want to help Bike198?

The biggest help is to use these links to JensonUSA, Amazon.com, Huck N Roll, Chainlove, Chain Reaction Cycles and REI when you get your gear. It costs you nothing and is a huge help to Bike198. These places have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them since before this website existed. I recommend them all personally.

    I’m so glad DST is here and I can return to my post-work rides. I’m envious of your local bike shop and the event they threw. We have a really nice bike shop here, with quite a few group rides, but I’m not sure they ever throw anything like that.

    Nice pics too.

      It really is a cool crew over at Reality. I have known those guys for awhile.

      And thank God it is DST…I was starting to go insane.
