Cyclists Coming to Dahlonega

Over 3,000 people are coming to Dahlonega, Saturday, Sept. 25, to participate in or watch Georgia's Premier Cycling event, the Six Gap Century & Three Gap Fifty rides. Hundreds of cyclists will travel along curvy, challenging mountain roads across North Georgia, riding on Tour de Georgia routes.

The Six Gap route includes six of the steepest climbs in the North Georgia mountains, with more than 11,200 feet of vertical climbing over 104 miles. Elevations, according to race officials, range from 1,400 to 3,460 ft. The Hogpen Gap has a 7% grade for seven miles. The Three Gap Fifty is half what the distance of the Six Gap, but cyclists will still face the same elevations.

D&B will work as a volunteer for the race with Mr. D&B photographing the event for the Lumpkin County Chamber of Commerce, the key sponsor the race. A bike expo will take place on Dahlonega's square Saturday. The races kick off Saturday and Sunday at the Dahlonega High School.
