100 miles. 10,700 vertical feet. 2,500 friends
This year marks the 20th anniversary celebration of the Six Gap Century and Three Gap Fifty Bike Ride. Taking place on September 28, 2008 in Georgia's Premier Cycling Venue, the race boasts many of the same roads and mountain climbs of the Tour de Georgia.
The Six Gap Century’s ultra challenging route takes you up and down six of the steepest climbs in the North Georgia Mountains. Test your stamina with more than 10,700 feet of vertical climbing over the 100 mile course. Elevations for the six gaps in this ride range from 2,949 feet to 3,490 feet. The toughest climb, Hogpen Gap, will test even the strongest riders, averaging a 7% grade for seven miles, with sections as steep as 15%.
The Three Gap Fifty’s alternative route offers half the gaps and half the distance, but is nevertheless a demanding and challenging course. Elevations range from 3,109 feet to 3,280 feet. |
