PARKING

We have ample parking for 500 vehicles in a large grass field over a very hard, heavy layer of gravel that drains very well. Even if it rains, the ground shouldn’t get muddy. Most cars should not have any problems getting in or out, or parking. Vehicles with low clearance or high profile wheels, we will park closer to the entrance of the parking area. Carpooling with friends and fellow riders would be greatly appreciated.

Please look for the volunteers once you pull in who will be pointing you to where they want you to park. Please do not just pull and park where you feel is best. We have a system in place to maximize the parking and keep everyone happy.

Please remember to arrive with plenty of time to park and get registered (We shouldn’t have a line to either park or to pick up your registration since we are staggering the start times so much, but don’t count on it.

FOR 2026

Start + Finish in Serenbe

For the second year, we’re rolling out from the flower fields of Serenbe. It’s scenic, unexpected, and sets the perfect tone for the ride ahead.

Trail Sections

All routes include a few sections of singletrack—built with love by the North Georgia Mountain Bike Association. Just enough edge to shake things up, not enough to make you cry in front of your friends.

Camping

Make it a full weekend. Pitch your tent at NGMBA HQ, just down the road from the start line. Expect fire pits, starry skies, and campfire stories that may or may not be true. Check out all the accommodations >
