If you missed out on the Tour de Georgia as it passed through Dahlonega earlier this year don't
miss the unique event!
The 6 Gap Century & 3 Gap Fifty Bike Ride is bit more relaxed than the Tour de Georgia with two
events in one. Riders can choose between a 100 mile (century) ride winding up and down the Georgia mountains through
six mountain passes (Gaps) or go for the 50 mile trip through "only" three passes in the North Georgia Mountains.
