In 2018 the Red Clay Ramble will be a little less "Hot" and a little more "Fun" and about the same amount of "Dirty".  We are moving the date out of the oppressive August heat and into early June and also will wrap up our SGS series earlier in the year .  Again we are partnering with Bike Walk Baldwin and Old Capital Racing for a gravel grinder that explores the red clay back roads of middle Georgia. The course is on a mix of dirt, gravel and paved county roads. While this course is super-fast with only 2,300 feet of climb, the Georgia heat will test even the best racers’ endurance and the gravel, sand and red clay roads will put their bike handling skills to the test as well. Distance: 56 miles Elevation: 2,300 feet

The three courses offer a variety of terrain with the CENTURY route including a terrific almost -12- mile coast back toward Warm Springs and on into the Lake Meriwether area. As in the past there will be food, fun and entertainment offered at the Peaches in the Pines Festival. Our great volunteers have agreed to again provide the “Best of the Rest” rest stops including homemade treats and our memorable Meriwether County hospitality. Public Safety traffic control will help at busy intersections, plus three SAG vehicles with short wave radio contact will be on the routes. The address is 728 Lake Meriwether Rd, Woodbury, Ga, 30293 for the mass start at 9 a.m.
