By now, some of you (ones who are a bit familiar with Georgia geography) will have figured out that this ride is going to be, in a word, hilly!
That’s right. It’s deliberate. The idea is to find out if you are geared for the trip. Please do this right. Bring the bike you intend to ride. Have it geared the way you expect to ride it. Pack it for the actual Tour. (maybe even add a little bit of weight) Then see how you do. If you get stuck, you won’t be that far from help.
If you need to make changes, now is the time to find it out.
Do plan to ride this in whatever the weather brings. There is no way to know what we will experience in July.
This should be both educational and fun!
