The Idea:

Creating the routes• Two routes from Atlanta to Savannah

• Start at Sherman’s Battle of Atlanta Headquarters & finish at Forsyth Park in Savannah

• Use existing assets

• Safety first and above all else.

• Keep it as small-bore as possible. Serve the communities and cyclists along the routes. Create an economic development tool on a first name basis.

• Inform in a broader context & also cover the nuts ‘n bolts. Use Kindle, paperback, website, & Facebook.

The Two Routes

• The Right Wing route is 330 miles and the Left Wing Route is 320 miles. Each route follows somewhat the routes of Sherman’s two armies marching to Savannah.

• Each route is divided into 6 day of riding.

• Depart Atlanta on Sunday morning, Arrive Savannah Friday afternoon.
