Blankets Creek is located north-west of downtown atlanta.  Driving from the conference center could take 40 -60 mins depending on traffic.  Please plan to arrive 15 mins before your ride time.  This will allow more time on the trail.

The AMCSI Conference was unable to secure a shuttle/transportation.  Please plan to coordinate your own transportation to our ride. 


What to expect?

When you arrive, Catalyst staff & volunteers will give you a quick overview of adaptive bikes.  We will then work to fit you with an appropriate bike & go over basic controls & safety considerations.  Blankets Creek has a great area for us to practice riding the bike.  We will then pair you with volunteers to hit the trails.  


Please register for the ride session that you are most interested in.  Kirby will reach out to you directly to discuss further details about the ride.
