Four months ago, this stretch of the BeltLine from Montgomery Ferry Road to the corner of 10th Street and Monroe Drive was just emerging from an Atlanta winter. Now lush with growth of summer, it played host this morning to area
bird watchers, cyclists, dog walkers and a group of artists in search of sites for their proposed installations. Keep an eye on the Atlanta BeltLine website for finalist notifications beginning next week. The corridor affords an amazing range of opportunities for murals, performance art and sculpture.

The Seersucker Social 2011

Something about a group ride lifts everyone's spirits. Neither the heat nor the hills proved capable of rumpling the Seersucker Social's crisp, summery celebration. From Woodruff Park we rode north on Peachtree Street to pause for popsicles at the gate of Piedmont Park. That sugar energy was soon released in the climb up Virginia Hill.

Along the route, many waved, some invited us to their circus act and the staff of Sauced feted us with peach mojitas.

As before, the parade concluded with a picnic at Oakland Cemetery. These images are but a sampling. Please follow this link to the complete set on flickr.

What a difference two months can make. Our April encounter was marked by chilly, high winds. This muggy afternoon found Woodruff Park all abloom to greet the dozen damsels whose ride would turn heads up and down Peachtree Street.

While Tweed Rides are popular in northern climes, down
south we favor fabrics like seersucker and linen for leisurely
cycling in the heat of summer. The Seersucker Social begins at 4pm in Woodruff Park. After a suitable interval, we shall ride to Oakland Cemetery for a Victorian garden picnic on the lawn. Please join us for a quaint celebration of style, city cycling and historic preservation in the heart of Atlanta.
