Organiser's description

UPDATE: We are still watching the forecast but as of Friday afternoon, the ride is still on! Rain should be moving out just before roll out time and most if not all of the roads will be rideable and likely in decent shape with dust settled.





Join Specialized Ambassador Lisa Baynes & Gatewood Baynes on Sunday April 30th at 9am for one of their favorite 50 mile gravel routes leaving from Oconee Brewing Co.

You may remember this as the Ga Rodeo Rally ride in 2022 or Gatewoods Gravel Growler. Same route, same chunky Ham Fork Road (although you can bypass this if you are ok losing a mile). Ask if interested, or easily spot it on the rwgps link.

You will need a gravel or mountain bike for this route. Mostly gravel with a few stretches of low traffic paved road and some chunky stuff on one road. (see above). Depending on the participants, we'll have a slightly altered start if needed, so please be ready to roll at 9 to hear the announcement regarding this.

It is also highly suggested that you download the route or buddy up. You can find the route here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38594535

There will not be any road markings or support along the route so please come prepared with nutrition and tools to get you back to finish line. Water stop at mile 32 (Bethesda Church)

By request, here is the link for a shorter 31 mile route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42565709

Burch Food Truck will be onsite with some of the best Burch Burgers ever at the end of the ride, and as always a pint of cold beer or seltzer from Oconee Brewing Company.

The first 20 registered riders will get a little gift from Specialized!
