I also live up here -just outside Dahlonega - Thanks for joining the ride.
and Just for Road Bike Guy we moved each gap about a mile or two north east.
So what did you think of the new route? Other then a few riders asking for Cups at the rest and Ice? did we fall short? at the rest stops. (no gels)
I am not sure if i can post links to Photos, I was a marshall at the bottom of neal's/vogel park - for all those that did the 100 I was filling your water bottles as the rest stop there also. I did a lot of talking.
here is the link - enjoy (photos coming off Neals and the turn to Wolf Pen.

also THANKS to all that came, you make this ride more successful each year. this year they say the back side of hogpen was bad, we did have an incident there and on Wolfpen, I have no other details.
The ride started in 2 groups - 6 gap out at 7:30 - temps were about 60 with some high fog that burned off. the first group was over Neal's/Blood Mountain and off to the split by 8:50. The main 3 gap - came into the area about 10:30.
Several riders (6 gap) retired due to cramping at the 129/180 area on the 100. From there Wolf Pen and Woody's were left. The last group of riders was on Woody about 4:30.
Due to the fuel issues there was less auto/motorcycle traffic.
IT was a pretty day, warm weather and wonderful riders.
See you next year.
