  • Organised?
  • Events on time?

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I do not know how you can hurt so bad and still have such a good time. I guess that officially makes me a masochist. I encourage everyone to do the gaps at least once, at least the bottom three. If you want to run with the "big boys", give the top three a shot. :)

  • Comments: This was an Epic Ride, in every sense of the word, and yes, I do realize the word is over-used. :) I was reading something a few days ago, I think in Triathlete magazine, regarding "epic" events. The author had a list of conditions beyond the assumed ones such as effort, pain, and suffering. Something like, - The event must last longer than 5 hours - Spectators must seriously doubt the participants' mental health - It must involve bad weather - Illness, injury or accidents are a plus.. OK, so we're 4 out of 4. Check. I can't remember the rest, but you get the idea. For anyone who doesn't know what 6 Gap is, it's a century ride in the north GA mountains (hills?) covering some of the same roads that are used for the Tour de Georgia in the spring. Only lots slower. See the link above for a route map, or go do the Dahlonega Chamber of Commerce's site to sign up yourself for next year...if you're still crazy enough to want to after reading this. http://www.dahlonega.org/ I
