Georgia State of Gravel Training Group Info Meeting

Girls Gone Gravel Target Event Info Session

The Event: Georgia State of Gravel in Union Point, GA

I actually did the 29-mile at this event last year and it’s a perfect course for our first event. The course isn’t technical, the roads are in good shape, and it doesn’t have a ton of climbing (about 1500 ft for the 29-mile and about 3500 for the 60). The event is hosted by Topview Sports, a very experienced race directing company and has great rest stops and fires up the grill at the end of the event to serve lunch to all participants. Depending on where you live, it’s only about 1:10-1:30 from Atlanta and the event doesn’t start until 9 am!

Training & Preparation

In addition to our monthly Dirty Sheets rides, we’ll add 1-3 additional group rides in February and March (weather permitting).

Atlanta Cycling has also agreed to host a Sunday bike maintenance clinic for all participants. This is designed to help you be comfortable with anything that might happen on course from flats to dropped chains.

Race Day prep session with Kathryn, Trish, and Lauren

Lots of high-fives and hugs at the start and finish line!

Cost:

The 60-mile route is $50 and the 29 mile is $40. There is no cost associated with the program but if you’re interested in one-on-one cycling or strength coaching for cyclists, you can find out more by emailing kathryn@coachkathryntaylor.com

It’s Not About the Race

The goal is up to you! Maybe you want to finish your longest gravel ride to date or maybe you want to train and see how fast you can go. Maybe you just want the delicious cookies at the rest stops and a fun day out on the course. Whatever the goal, women’s participation in these events matters and we’re going to have a blast doing it!
