Come join Sorella for a day of riding and barbecuing! We will be having early afternoon road and mountain bike rides of all levels, followed by a potluck bbq. We hope you and your family, spouses, boyfriends, and kids have saved the date for August 8th for our summer party. This year we are doing something totally different. We will have mountain and road rides before our picnic starting that morning. Also would like to mention here that if you plan on riding early that morning, be sure to have something to eat between your ride and that start of the bbq. So come on out early, stay late, ride and chill! Can't wait to see you there!

12 Hours of Dauset - Mountain Bike Race

When: Saturday, Sept 18, at 10 AM

Where: Jackson, GA

Sorella Cycling is teaming up with GoneRiding.com to bring you the 12 Hours of Dauset endurance mountain bike race.  There will be 6-hour individual events, and 12-hour individual and team events. For more details and to register check out www.goneriding.com

We will start from the parking lot behind Peachtree Bikes. For those new to the ride, the course is about 21 miles and hilly. This is not a beginner ride, however, with that said, there are several places along the route that we do regroup after some long climbs. The speed is about 15 mph. Consider it a social training ride, with 4 good places to practice your climbing skills, including the Northside Hill and Olympic Hill. The ride is a lot of fun, and frequently there is a group that stays for dinner afterwards. The route.
