Registration continues for one of Northeast Georgia’s premier cycling events. The Twin Rivers Challenge, hosted by Tallulah Falls School, is set to take place on October 23.
“With the leaves at peak color in late October, this is the perfect time to visit the region known for its scenery and hospitality,” says TFS Director of Communications and Media E. Lane Gresham.
The ride will begin and end on the Tallulah Falls School campus with routes taking riders through both Habersham and Rabun counties and across two rivers – Tallulah and Soque. Riders will have the choice of three challenging and scenic routes – 70, 46 or 33 miles. Support and Gear (SAG) stops will be available at regular intervals along the routes. A post-ride meal will be provided for all riders.
Now in its seventh year, the Twin Rivers Challenge has raised over $310,000 to benefit student scholarships at the private day and boarding school in northern Habersham County.
“With more than 70% of TFS students receiving some portion of financial aid, it is clear this special event makes a difference,” says Gresham.
Last year’s event attracted over 120 riders.
This year’s challenge begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, October 23. Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. Parking and registration will be located on the TFS main campus located off of U.S. 441/GA 15 in Tallulah Falls. The registration fee is $45.
