What Is the Wheelhopper Mountain Bike Hash House Harriers

We are an informal group of mountain bike riders fashioned after the infamous Hash House Harriers groups for runners. Like the runner's Hash House Harriers groups which have become so popular all over the world, including North America, we encourage those with half-a-mind to join to do so. Likewise, Wheelhopper Hash House Harriers also greatly enjoy a cold beer (or soft-drink) after our hares-and-hounds style rides. Our trails favor advanced, recreational, and beginner riders: women and men. We mark each course with biodegradable baking-flour, including false-trail marks to slow down those hard core riders and enable most of the riders to finish the course together. Rides are mostly off-road and generally 8 to 15 miles for the advanced and recreational riders and sometimes we have an alternate trail of about 3 to 6 miles for the beginners. We encourage helping one another along the course. This is not a race; but you may ride as hard or easy as you like. (Bring a whistle, bell, or other noise maker to let others behind you know which direction to go.) We also appreciate and respect the land, people and property that we pass. For $6.00 you get the trail, ride, beer and soft-drinks, munchies, and the camaraderie with others of half-a-mind.

We have rides on the 3rd and 4th Sunday of each month. We average 25 to 50 riders on a ride.

We ride on various trails around the Atlanta, GA area. We also have a few rides in North GA. Every ride is different; every ride starts and ends at a different location. Every ride is reconnaisanced and marked by a different person(s), the hare(s). Thus there have been and will be great rides in town and great rides on isolated trails, each with it's own unique characteristics to be discovered.
