Bicycling Cohutta

Walt bicycling

Mountain Biking in the mountains of North Georgia is a hoot.  Walt and I camped in the Conasauga Recreation Area near the Cohutta Wilderness Area.  Normally we wouldn't ride mountain bikes in a wilderness area, but they were allowed in the Recreation Area, so we went.  It was near the end of the season, so there were few people there.

Me at a blaze

The campout was nice in the cool fall temperatures and after breakfast, we rode down some pretty steep trails, some with with jumps at the end for motorcycles.  We jumped too.  Stuff broke loose and had to be fixed.  Eventually we had to ride back uphill and that took the rest of the day.

Walt fixing something, banana-less

Before we turned around, Walt was looking for a banana for a snack that was in his rack trunk.  The banana skin was still there, but the banana had been pureed by the jumps into wetness.

We did have a great day riding and after a drive into town for dinner, we returned to the campsite that night for more peace and quiet.
To get there, go north 4 miles on US 441 from Chatsworth, GA into Eton.  Turn right onto Forest Service road 18 for 10 miles, then left onto Forest Service Road 68 for 10 miles.
