Register now for Ultra X Gravel Grinder bike race

Dracula, GA – Chain Buster Productions has announced its Assault on Mt. Currahee, Ultra X Gravel Grinder race. The race is scheduled for February, 28, 2015. It will begin at 10am on Clarkesville Street in downtown Cornelia and proceed onto the gravel roads of the Chattahoochee National Forest.

The race course will be approx. 38 miles and will consist of asphalt and primarily gravel roads. After riding past some of the oldest cemeteries in Georgia you will soon be facing Currahee Mountain, the very mountain used by Army Paratroopers in the 1940’s at Camp Toccoa to train before WWII and featured in the movie series Band of Brothers. At the top the half-way point aid station will have plenty of hydration and nutrition and you’ll need it before you turn back and finish the journey to the finish line. Don’t get to comfortable because you will be faced with 3 Cross Obstacles where you will need to dismount off of your bike to make it through the other side.

The race also serves as a fundraiser for the Prima Tappa Cycling Club and the Habersham Raiders High School Cycling Team.

Prima Tappa Cycling Club is one of the largest cycling clubs in Northeast Georgia and is dedicated to promoting long healthy living, ending childhood obesity and biking advocacy. Together with their sponsor Mansfield Oil Company the club runs a successful Hall County High School Cycling Composite Team. The Habersham Raiders High School Cycling Team competes in The Georgia High School Cycling League.
