The route for this year’s race will be very similar to last year, except this time the first stage starts in Augusta! I know what I’ll be doing on the morning of 19 April.
Last year, Andrea and I caught the finish of the stage from Dalton to Dahlonega, and then the next day drove up to Brasstown Bald to watch the elite pros race up the tallest mountain in Georgia. I took a lot of pictures and even some video, which I STILL haven’t had time to edit down. Perhaps the excitement of the upcoming TdG will motivate me to take another look at that footage!
We had an excellent time on both mountain stages we saw last year, and will have to look in to seeing them again.
