About this event

Come climb, cheer and descend with me! We’re going to do the best part of the Southern Cross route (the reasonable climb and the fun descent). Rolling at 10 am to climb up and hang out at the top and cheer on Sorellas (and non-Sorellas) at the top of the first grueling climb. Then, we’ll head down after for the fun part of one of the most fun descents in North Georgia. The ride time should be just under 2 hours. If we’ve got time to spare at the top before racers are there, we’ll add a little along the ridge line. All paces welcome as you climb at your own pace. My toy chainsaw is coming along for the ride!

Lunch at El Rios Mexican on the way back towards Atlanta (Dawsonville), for those interested:
