Warning!! Early in this ride you will turn right off of Hammond Drive on to Perimeter Center Pkwy., you will pass Fudruckers, and cross a new bridge. When you have crossed the bridge, beware of a deep, bicycle tire sized, groove on your far left side. Stay to the far right side of the road until you get to light on Lake Hearn Drive then turn left. I know of two cyclists that the "bicycle hating" groove has taken down. Wait till you are almost at the light before you get in the left lane to turn on to Lake Hearn Drive ! ... Tommy
