Its short notice, but I just found out myself, so...
Description:
The best road riding that the Southeast has to offer. Two routes will be available. Look forward to southern hospitality, scenic country roads, a sagged 65 miler over Ft Mountain and Great Italian Food for after the ride. All Bikes are welcome, not just Italian!
The Rides:
Two routes will be available. The Gianni Bugno 35 miler & a Marco Pantani 65 miler. The 35 miler will cover the rolling hills of Ellijay using the beautiful quiet backroads this town is well known for. The 65 miler takes riders up and over Fort Mountain using roads ridden in the Tour de Georgia, nearly 5,000 ft of climbing!
Fees:
$35.00 covers the ride and post ride meal. This ride is a fund raiser for the Cartecay Cycling Club.
