Silk Sheets


The standard bearer of The Sunday Ride. 70 miles of smooth suffering set amongst bucolic, rolling countryside. ATLPTN runs this course forwards and backwards post-natural break. Scholars and scribes will argue the varying difficulty for ages. What's not up for debate is the unrelenting nature of the course.

Key Points

MILE 12.5

Natural Break

Just after 4-Way Intersection. Make it quick! Group heads straight on Cedar Grove Rd for SS Forwards; backtracks and makes a right onto Cochran Mill for SS Backwards

MILE 25.2

Shortcut

It’s August. You stayed out too late last night. The sun is unrelenting. Air is thick as molasses. No way you are making the full 70. Leave the group with a left onto Jim Starr Rd off Roscoe.

MILE 63

Big Ugly

The name says it all. You’ve been hammering for damn near three hours and with a mere seven miles to go, here is a climb just shy of 1 mile, a touch under 3% gradient. Not that bad, right? Wrong. This will be the last you see of some of the PTN today.
