The State of Georgia

is VERY large.

And while being very spread out further east, it's not exactly flat either.  I keep thinking that at some point the mountainous - hilly sections will flatten (closer to the coast, it seems.)

Thought I'd mention too, something about the bicycle route option on google.map, for anyone convinced that it's the "second coming..."  You'd be correct, as for the "second" part, since it requires a trek up and back down the same roads in order to find your way.  On top of that, some roads either don't exist, or are completely made up.  I know it's beta, which I guess is a get out of jail free card, but just be very cautious.

On a more positive note, if anyone is interested in taking a bike ride south east of the Atlanta Area, I would highly recommend a ride down State Road 57 - wow.  Newly paved, nice shoulders, beautiful landscape.  Also, at about 30 miles southeast of the city you begin to see "share the road" signs - so all is good.

Hopefully, by this time tomorrow, I can begin my formal ride on the ACA map(s) to Yorktown.
