about the cheaha challengeSunday, May 18
The Cheaha Challenge is the Southeast's pinnacle of road rides. There's a challenge for every rider, with ride options of 22, 44, 62, 84, Century, and Ultra. If you are new to climbing, challenge yourself with the 22 or 44 mile ride that features the milder White's Gap climb. The 62, 84, and Century options offer more stiff climbs that will be a challenge to even experienced climbers. The Cheaha Challenge Ultra consists of 126 miles with 13,500 feet of climbing, featuring the infamous Bains Gap out and back section, and the formidable Chimney Peak! Ultra finishers receive an exclusive finisher t-shirt and are eligible to order an exclusive finisher's jersey. |
