Summer slump impacting your biking? There’s an app for that! GA Tech has launched the Cool Routes App for desktop and iOS. This map visualizes walkable or bikeable routes based on 3 factors: distance, heat, and greenery. It will help plan a route that will keep you as cool as possible. Thanks to the folks at Propel ATL for bringing this one to our attention. You can sign up for Propel ATL’s newsletter here.

Maurice McAlpin of MOBETTA Cycling co is back at it again! The “Get In Where You Fit In” ride is coming back this year to help benefit the Boy’s and Girls Club. While the ride/event takes place in Augusta, “Mo” is based out of Atlanta and you can catch him on various group rides.

Register for the community ride and find out more on his website.

From the event registration: 

Overview
We invite all cyclists and clubs as we celebrate our 3rd year of supporting and giving back to the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Augusta Ga.

Get In Where You Fit In
The ride began in 2024 as a fundraiser to support survivors of Hurricane Helene, which devastated Augusta. It has since grown into a beloved annual event that brings the community together and donates bikes to children at the Boys & Girls Club.
