Now in its seventh year, an interagency cooperative effort focused on traffic safety is in place for the upcoming Twin Rivers Challenge, a road cycling event hosted by Tallulah Falls School set for Oct. 23.
Representatives from area public safety agencies – Georgia State Patrol, Habersham and Rabun County sheriff’s offices, Habersham County Emergency Medical Services, Tallulah Falls Police Department – met with ride organizers on Aug. 19 to discuss logistics for the ride.
According to President and Head of School Larry Peevy, safety for the riders is a top priority. “Without the strong partnership with these community agencies, we couldn’t stage an event like this,” Peevy said. “The ride is a fundraiser for student scholarships, with financial support growing each year.”
Riders can select one of three route options – 33 miles, 46 miles or 70 miles. All rides begin at 9 a.m. with all riders returning to Tallulah Falls School where cyclists can enjoy a complimentary post-ride meal and live bluegrass music.
“We look forward to extending warm hospitality to returning riders and newcomers,” Peevy said.
