CBE 2005 Mtn./Road bike ride to Ellijay Georgia April 21-24 (Tour De Georgia)
we have set the date for our 2005 trip north. We will be driving up on Wednesday night the 20th of April after everybody gets out of work. It should be a 8-9 hour drive including stops and breakfast. We will drive straight to a ride and start riding at sun up on Thursday. We will split up as desired into road and mtn groups and ride all day the 21st including a night, mtn., ride at Bull Mtn.
We will get some shut-eye and then head out Friday morning for another epic ride, both mtn. and road including another night ride. The Tour De Georgia is riding thru Ellijay, Rome, Dahlonega, and Brasstown Bald from the 19th to the 24th. And yes Lance will be there. You are welcome to bring both a road bike or mtn. bike or no bike at all and just hang out at the indoor heated pool and hot tub at our hotel or watch the Tour and cheer on Lance as he goes for his second title.
The rides will be fully guided and supported with water and energy bars. We will provide maps of the trail and roads for the days ride each morning and discuss everyones desires. A lot of the mountain bike rides will include shuttle rides to the top of downhill sections if needed. This will not be the case for the road rides. The hopes are to be able to split 6 gap into two rides over two days. For those that do not know, 6 gap is a very hard combination of six peeks and descents that cover 100 miles.
Saturday will be more of the same and can include another night ride if anybody has the legs left.
Sunday will be an early morning ride and then at our leisure we will begin to head home for Florida.
The things you need to know:
Cost: $125.00 (per person dbl. occupancy) 3 nights hotel room and guided rides for 4 days.
You will be responsible for transportation and your own food. We have done this for 4 years now and have found with carpools, meeting at the shop around 8pm, and eating at normal restaurants you can do it on $100 spending money.
The payment will be non-refundable due to us having to reserve and pay for a block of rooms in advance.
Bring lights and extra clothes, it can still get cold in the Georgia mtns, especially at night.
The rides will not be for the faint at heart. There will be some serious climbs and descents in both mtn. and road. So get some training in before we go.
If you have questions email us or call us. (813) 963-5765
