From September 1 - 5, 2022, 115 members of KRT/QRT flew/drove to Atlanta, Georgia to attend One Love, hosted by the Metro Atlanta Cycling Club (MACC) for our second year in a row. Dedicated to supporting youth cycling since the 80’s, MACC established One Love to financially support youth organizations such as the BRAG Dream Team, East Atlanta Kids Club, and the DLV Youth Cycling League. One Love proceeds also go to WeCycle Atlanta, Bearings Bike Shop and Urban Creek Conservation and Recreation Corps. With over 1800 cyclist in attendances this was an event we did not want to miss.

On Thursday evening, the team participated in the Tango Kickoff Ride, a 25-mile 1,275 ft ride through Fairburn and Tyrone, Geogia. The massive group broke into several paces which ended at the Cochran Mill Brewery. Friday morning, the team rode in the MACC OLC Pre-ride, a 25-mile 1,205 ft ride through Chattoahoochee Hills, GA. Riding alongside 1000 other riders, the members climbed the rolling hills of Georgia and made new friends. After the ride, members relaxed and socialized at the Fish Fry under our vendor table and tents provided by Trek & Philly Bike Expo. That evening, members headed to Atlanta proper to attend an art show, Cheers: Celebrating Authenticity Hosted by Shaheed Rucker & Amurri Lauren.
