Every now and then you’ll see some folks do it from Boulder and it always looks like a really good but big day. I’m dumb enough to consider sometime.

I do miss riding north Georgia and the rolling hills in the eastern part of the state. Not worth moving back but I usually try to grab a bike when I go home to visit.

Coredump posted:I'm in Gwinnett but I've traveled out to Rutledge for the BRAG spring tune-up, Carrollton for the greenway around that city, down to Atlanta, etc. I'm willing to go a fair distance to check a place out. Ah, cool. I moved from Georgia over 4 years ago, so some of this is rusty, but some of my favorite places to ride out there were: 1) The 3/6 Gap routes are the big climbs in north Georgia that most of the roadies do. These are "real climbs" and are worth doing if you never have. Wolfpen is probably the best of the bunch, Hogpen is pretty difficult from what I remember. This route doesn't do Brasstown Bald (the highest point in the state and a very tough climb up), but it's in the same area. There's also good climbing over in the Dalton area. And, for that matter, if you're in Dalton, Chattanooga is just another 45 minutes up the road. 2) For less climbing heavy riding, I rode a bunch in the Athens area. You can use Athens as a starting point and ride all over northeastern Georgia. I can send over some specific routes if you want ideas, but there are great rolling hills to the north (all the way up to Alto) and out to the east. Toward the south of town there are some good gravel roads that you can link up. If you've ever heard of the bike photog Jered Gruber, this is the area he lives in and hosts a good gravel group ride/race every year. 3) For a combination of (1) and (2), there's some stuff north of Rome worth looking at. In particular, the roads to the north of Fouche Gap (Tour of Georgia went over this a few times) and off of the Berry College campus (there's also some decent MTB trails here from what I hear, but I never rode them). You can do some big mile days out here in the rolling foothills leading into the bigger stuff in northern Alabama and Georgia. 4) I rode down south a bit, but its flat and pretty boring. Coastline is flat all over and while scenic isn't my favorite. 5) For MTB trails, there's great stuff in the northern part of the state. The Pinhoti Trail in the NW is good, the Russell (I think this is the name...) wildlife management area north of Athens is good, and then there are good spots around Atlanta too: Ft Yargo, Blankets Creek, etc. a foolish pianist might be able to chime in too. I believe he's been doing some good gravel stuff in the Atlanta area and might have some suggestions.

Clamp the seat post instead of the top tube w carbon bikes. It can be easy to clamp too hard and crush the tube. Nice bike and congrats!
