One of the most challenging courses of the Gran Fondo National Series, the TT1 Tour of Georgia Gran Fondo crisscrosses the Appalachian Trail over big mountain gaps and secluded mountain roads around Helen, Georgia.

Helen is a unique mountain town styled in a Bavarian theme. About two hours from major airports in Atlanta, GA and Greenville, SC, Helen is adjacent to the beautiful Unicoi State Park which is packed with family fun. Experience Southern hospitality with a Bavarian twist! A smaller peloton, compared to other GFNS events, also helps create a tight-knit family atmosphere on road and at the post-ride party with North Georgia BBQ.

The Tour of Georgia Gran Fondo routes are difficult to ride unsupported because the roads are remote and stores are few and far between.  This event allows you to ride these marked and marshalled courses with confidence, supported by law enforcement, safety motos, mechanic and sag vehicles, as well as staffed feed stations.  There are four routes to choose from: (1) Piccolo (23 Miles, 1,725 Feet Elevation Gain); (2) Medio (63 Miles, 6,436 ft); (3) Gran (86 Miles, 8,477 ft); (4) Super Gran (103 Miles, 9,685 ft)

Gran Fondo Boone is a Gran Fondo National Series event.  The series was established in 2012 and is comprised of eight European-style ride/races staged in the United States. Every GFNS event offers courses covering 30, 60 and 100-mile journeys through some of the most beautiful and challenging terrain in endurance sports. Timed sections allow riders to compete in specific segments of the course, while casual cyclists can ride at their own pace. Participants can ride as individuals or on teams. GFNS awards special prizes to the top riders in every age and gender category.  Each rider is assigned an electronic timing-chip to keep track of their progress throughout the course and to allow riders to compete for best time through highlighted sections
