This 5th annual recreational bicycle ride to celebrate the Tour de Georgia will be held
Saturday, April 26, 2008, and will begin in Hiawassee, Ga at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds, just minutes from Brasstown Bald.
The mass start will begin after the pre-ride briefing at 8:00 AM. Ride options will include a 12-mile rolling course and a 36-mile, challenging, hilly course that circles Brasstown Bald. You can ride a portion of the same route that the world's best professional cyclists, like past champions Floyd Landis, Tom Danielson and Lance Armstrong, have ridden.
Then, spend the afternoon cheering on the pro peloton as they assault Brasstown Bald and finish Stage
6 atop the highest point in Georgia. Pre-registration guarantees a commemorative T-shirt
to the first 300 participants.
Proceeds for this event go to the development of the Jackrabbit Mountain Bike and Hiking Trail Project which will provide additional recreational opportunities and economic development for
Clay County,
NC and the adjoining Towns County, GA.
