This is a challenging ride through the scenic North Georgia mountains beginning in the "Moonshine Capital of the World"!
This ride offers a Half-Metric and Metric route that runs through the gorgeous mountains and valleys of Dawson County. It starts at the iconic Dawsonville Municipal Complex which houses the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame and Dawsonville Moonshine Distillery. The ride journeys through scenic foothills and valleys of the North Georgia mountains with views of open pastures, old barns and country life, then takes cyclers up highway 136 Scenic Byway giving them breathtaking views of Burnt Mountain and surrounding areas. Cyclers pass by Amicalola Falls and some take the extra ride to the top of Amicalola Falls Road leading them to the breathtaking and relaxing site of a 729 foot waterfalls, tallest east of the Mississippi.
The ride is hosted by the Dawson County Office of Tourism and Development in hopes to build the cycling community and presence in the county.
