There's a bunch of centuries in Georgia in the upcoming weeks. I plan to do the full century for some and shorter options for others. I thought I'd share the list with the TE gals in case anyone is looking for a good organized ride.

9/5 Share the Road Challenge This one combines the 'Beyond Six Flags' route with the 'Silk Sheets' route. I love Silk Sheets, Beyond Six Flags is a little industrial. The ride benefits the Atlanta Bicycle advocacy group so it's a good cause.

9/11 Wilson 100 Nice route, well supported. It's considered to be somewhat flat compared to other centuries in the area so many riders try for a personal best century time on this ride.

9/17 Beautiful Backroads Century The name says it all. It really is a beautiful route through the rolling hills of north Georgia. I remember it having some of the best rest stops of organized rides in the area.

9/25 Six Gap Century and Three Gap Fifty One of the toughest centuries in the area. The century goes over six mountain passes with more than 10,700 ft of climbing. This is the area where they did the mountain stages for the Tour de Georgia.

10/1 Brawl 4 I just heard about this one recently and have never done it. It has 11,840 ft of climbing so it's not likely that I'll do it. Too much climbing after Six Gap the week before.

10/8 Tony Serrano Memorial Ride The ride is in memory of a local triathlete who was killed while riding his bike last year. It's the inaugural century ride; there was a memorial ride not long after his death last year but it was shorter. It looks like a pretty good route. Proceeds benefit bike safety and awareness programs.

If anyone knows of any other good organized rides in the area, please share. I'm always looking for something new to try out.
