Geez, Tom...you're down in my neck of the woods. In Tallahassee, we've got a good century coming up the last weekend of March, the Blue Line. Then, there's TOSRV South, a two-day double, the next weekend. We love us some century rides down hyar, y'all.

Growing up in Albany, Ga, I was happy to find an active, if small, cycling community that benefited from the large number of rural roads in the area. Even had a few hills, though mountains require some driving.

You REALLY should come down for the infamous Six-Gap on September 28, if you want Southern riding with some h-e-double-hockey-sticks-climbing thrown in for good measure. It's on the other end of Georgia, but it's still close enough for us to consider it "local." A few of us even do the Brasstown climb that weekend. Nothing like some Category 1 and HC climbs to wake up the old muscle fibers.
