Ride:

The Das Boot Cup welcomes you to ride 51 miles with us on our favorite roads amid North Georgia’s forests, streams and mountains. The course ranges from flat and smooth to some of the most cobbled forest service roads in the area. Oh, and don’t mind the little climb up Tray Mountain. The concept is simple, we lay out a course, give you directions via GPX/TCX files and it’s up to you to find your way from the start to the finish. Ride with a group or go as fast as you like. No one is coming to change your flat tire. Everything you do is up to you. It’s like a really long group ride. No support. No sag. No aid stations. Just you, your bike and the groad in front of you. There is no entry fee. None. Zero. Zip. Join us for a post ride Octoberfest in the parking lot. We will be waiting on you with free Food and Booze!
