NW Georgia Century Rides

[grey]

The Chatooga century looks very interesting and I know how scenic that area is - do you know the elevation gain on the metric??

Gowest, we'll probably do a practice ride for kicks and I can tell you then. It isn't bad - I did most of the metric route yesterday and there are only two rough hills in the latter 30 miles - one we dub Schoolhouse Hill just south of downtown Menlo, and one more as you leave Menlo before you turn off to Shinbone Valley. I've ridden most of the rest of it as part of other rides (this area is where I ride all the time, just different routes) and offhand, I can only think of three hills in the first 20 miles - one on 27 before you turn off toward Sloppy Floyd, one not long after you leave Sloppy Floyd, and then one more when you turn onto 114.

Hope to see you both! KB, will the hubby hang around town and you ride with us for the metric? My group is small, three guys, one *sometimes* girl (who will do the 30 miler this year) and myself. We're not speed-breakers, usually around 13-15mph depending on how hot it is/tired we are. My house is a five minute ride from the high school where the ride starts, he can hang out here with my hubs. I'm considering making a big Italian meal mostly ahead of time so my group can celebrate - y'all are invited!
