Triple Gap: Directions & Route Cues


I'm putting this up as an aid to those who wish to go up to Dahlnega, GA and ride the "Original" Triple Gap route.  Below are directions to visitor parking in downtown Dahlonega, and a cue sheet for the route itself.  Enjoy!

To get to the ride start (beginning south of Atlanta)

Get on I-85 and go north through downtown Atlanta
Take the exit to the right to enter GA-400, north (towards Buckhead).
(Mileage starts at the beginning of GA-400)
Stay on GA-400 for 53.8 miles.
Ga-400 ends.
Turn left on US-19 (toward Dahlonega)
Do NOT turn off of road as it enters Dahlonega.  Go straight at light at Morison Pkwy.
At mile 84.8 you enter the square at Dahlonega.
Turn right on Main
Turn left immediate to continue around square
Exit the square (straight ahead) on Park St
Go one short block and turn left onto Chestatee St.
Municipal parking lot will be ahead, one or two blocks on your right.
Mount your bike and return to the square and to the Visitor’s Center at the intersection of Park St and Main (on the side of the Square)
