Come join Karin Jessop and Christina Panellla in a supportive environment that will give you the confidence and skills to accomplish your goals and enjoy the mountains. This will be a progressive monthly series to ensure confidence and competence.

Club Members, non-members and Sorella Fellas, welcome.

Ride Purpose: Create a nurturing environment to do scary and intimidating things in the mountains. Establish a monthly ride in The Gaps to develop the skills and fitness needed to complete the 3 Gap / 6 Gap ride on Sunday September 27th. https://runsignup.com/Race/GA/Dahlonega/SixGapCentury
