anywhere (just sign up and go ride your bike from anywhere). The Driveway Challenges will
be tracked through RidewithGPS.com and open to those who cannot or choose not to travel
to Helen and ride the actual routes.
What are the Driveway Challenge options?
The Georgia Driveway Challenge offers three distance options that can be completed
from your driveway (or any other starting point). You can choose from the Gran Distance
Challenge: 90 miles; the Medio Distance Challenge: 66 miles; or the Piccolo Distance
Challenge: 25 miles. Riders must complete their selected challenge goal the weekend of
April 17-18, and upload their ride file(s) to RidewithGPS.com to have their official results
recorded and be eligible to win raffle prizes.
