Join GAOC Sunday, November 6th at Sweetwater Creek State Park. Parking and registration at the Group Shelter. Start will be by the bridge and all courses use the east side of Sweetwater Creek. Expect some climb, but the woods is open and beautiful. Only the Red course goes all the way down to the creek at the southeast end of the park (for those of you familiar with the map).
Remember that the time changes Sunday morning!
