Six Gap of North Georgia


     This challenging and breathtaking route will take you on a rollercoaster ride of peaks and valleys. The Gaps has sections with sustained grades of 9 to 12 percent, so be ready for some serious climbing. As the ride progresses don’t forget to pay attention to your surroundings, as you will be experiencing some of the most stunning landscapes. The entire loop including the short 3 mile US 129 connector is 77 miles long. The southern loop is 35 miles and the northern loop is 38 miles. Each of the six segments includes crossing through a mountain “gap” or low pass, hence the name Six Gap. Four of these gaps are at points where the Appalachian Trail crosses the roadway.



Woody’s Gap - will reward your hard day’s efforts with a long and scenic descent.



    The Six Gaps is a tough but fun ride and is one of my personal favorites -- take on the challenge and you won’t be disappointed.
Location: Dahlonega, GA 30533, USA

Throwback - Pats Peak MTB Festival Race 2015

The Pats Peak Mountain Bike Festival is a Mountain Biking race in Henniker, New Hampshire. The event is held at Pats Peak, which is an independent alpine ski resort. This place has a never-ending circuit of switch-backs and climbing, which is precisely what anyone signing up to race on a ski mountain should expect. The XC course is open for riding all season. The race lap contains 7.1 miles and 897 feet of vertical per lap. In my opinion the hardest XC course in the New England series. On this day the cross-country race track climbed high on the mountain and offered good spectating for downhillers taking the easy way up on the lift.
