COURSE DESCRIPTION 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! COURSE MARKING There will be no course markings or signage.  Racers can download the GPX file and load it into a GPS, or they can prepare their own cue sheets.  Cue sheets are allowed, but you have to make them yourself.  This is not a closed course – racers will encounter traffic and are expected to respect all rules of the road.  Ride smart, ride safe. MINIMAL SUPPORT Both races will have minimal official support, meaning racers need to be well prepared and self sufficient.  Each route will have only one official aid stop near the half way point where water and some snacks will be provided.  Racers will be provided with a 1-gallon ziplock drop bag they can use to send items ahead to the aid station. In order to keep the race fair, and keep traffic off the route, no personal outside support is allowed.  Racers  are allowed to use any stores or publicly available services along the route however, so feel free to stop at a gas station to buy water, but racers cannot have family/friends/team members meet them anywhere on the course – including the aid stations.  Racers are allowed (and encouraged) to help one another if needed. MANDATORY EQUIPMENT Helmets are required for all racers.  Lights are encouraged as well.

Are you prepared for Macon’s most grueling bike competition that ever existed? Grab your gaudiest green gear and get ready to burn rubber and stuff your belly this Saint Patrick’s Day with Bike Walk Macon. It is our pleasure, nay, it is our HONOR to present the first annual ShamRock ‘n’ Ride Burger Tri. If you love bikes, this event is for you! If you love burgers, this event is for you! Or booze. Or music. Or fun. The challenge will kick off at Tattnall Square Park, and if you’re not already shaking with excitement, then the coffee shots from Jittery Joe’s will take care of that. After the coffee challenge, you’re on your own and headed to the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail to fuel up with a mouthwatering burger from Ocmulgee Brewpub. Then you’re barreling downtown for the Cupcake Crucible challenge with Bike Tech. Now don’t look back, because you are on the final stretch to the last stop at Just Tap’d, where the only thing standing between you, the party, and that glorious finish line is a cold green beer (or soda). Your registration fee covers your food and drink, a water bottle (because hydration is cool), an entry pass into all the fun at the Cherry Blossom Festival at Central City Park, and one of the most stylish shirts you’ll ever own. Ever. There will be music and an awards ceremony for our top competitors and best dressed at Just Tap’d. Are you mad enough to register? The online registration fee is $35 until March 9th for riders ages 18+ of all skill levels. Registration will be limited to the first 100 people, so act fast. This is a rain or shine event. Tickets are non-refundable. Helmets are required. All proceeds will support Bike Walk Macon, a non-profit organization leading the movement to make bicycling and walking a safe and convenient option for all Maconites. Thank you to our amazing partners! Bike Tech, Cherry Blossom Festival, Jittery Joe's Mercer Village, Just Tap'd Macon, Ocmulgee Brewpub
