Middle Georgia Epic

The Middle Georgia Epic is the longest multi-surface road race in Georgia, offering both a 200k and 100k distances for racers to choose from.   The race starts and finishes at the charming Blue Goose, Georgia’s only bike hostel, in Irwinton.  Each route consists of gently rolling country roads, with approximately half the route paved, the other half a mix of gravel, sand, dirt, and clay.  The variety of surfaces along the route make bike/tire choice an interesting challenge.  Skinnier tires are faster on the pavement, but will struggle on loose/soft surfaces.  The race will be held rain or shine, so keep that in mind when choosing equipment!
