Atlantic, but you’ll be too<br />
busy gasping for air to<br />
worry about it. The roads<br />
here have been used in<br />
stages of the Tour of the<br />
Gila, some of which punish<br />
riders with more than<br />
11,000 feet of climbing.<br />
But unlike racers, you<br />
can recover at Javalina<br />
in Silver City. Go for<br />
the freshly baked Amish<br />
chocolate-chip cookie<br />
and grab a second one to<br />
stash in your pocket.<br />
north of Los Angeles.<br />
The trick is to pile on<br />
the miles so you can<br />
indulge guilt-free on the<br />
restaurant’s artisanal<br />
desserts, which include<br />
strawberries-andcream<br />
macaroons and<br />
chocolate-chip-cookie<br />
cake. Mention my name<br />
and they might give<br />
you a discount. Or they<br />
might charge you extra,<br />
depending on how much<br />
I made them suffer on<br />
the last group ride.<br />

4Classy Treats<br />
Fit riders can join the<br />
fast-paced group ride<br />
that leaves the Sweet<br />
Salt Food Shop in Toluca<br />
Lake, California, every<br />
Friday morning, or set<br />
out on your own through<br />
the Hollywood Hills just<br />
5Southern Hospitality<br />
From the cycling haven<br />
of Athens, Georgia,<br />
numerous roads (some of<br />
them dirt) roll through<br />
forests heavy with the<br />
scent of pine and past<br />
sprawling horse farms.<br />
Some of the most popular<br />
loops head southwest<br />
toward Watkinsville<br />
and pass the Kumquat<br />
Mae Bakery and Café,<br />
an establishment known<br />
for its fresh pastries and<br />
friendly service. You’ll<br />
get a taste of Georgia<br />
hospitality to go with<br />
your buttery, warm<br />
croissant. One more<br />
reason to stop: The<br />
Kumquat offers cyclists<br />
discounts on everything<br />
from cookies to bottles<br />
of locally brewed Terrapin<br />
beer.<br />
