Dear Backroads Century Organizers/Volunteers:

 

Words alone cannot describe the enjoyment both my wife and I experienced Saturday, as we traversed the North Georgia landscape on our tandem, completing the entire 105 mile route. 

 

Backroads was my wife's first century and ours together on our "bike built for two," and we want to personally congratulate the entire Staff & Volunteers for giving us the opportunity to share in a memory that will last forever.  We could not stop talking about how well marked the roads were, the friendly rest stop support, the beautiful terrain, great weather, and the relief of continuously seeing SAG wagons drive by looking for cyclists in need of support.

 

The most amazing part of the event is that Backroads has only hosted this ride for two years, yet based on the turnout of cyclists (someone said over 350?), one could have assumed it has been a cycling event hosted for years.  Needless to say, we shall look forward to next years ride, yet until that time, many thanks for making our day together fantastic!

Another Great ride... Your ride is the best planned event in the state... Your stops have more food and drink than all the other rides combined... Well done for you and all the other volunteers. Still a fun and great ride... Will be back next year... Good turnout considering the rain and TS factor... I hope you raised the need monies for the school. Thanks again, John

Hi Jim, just a short note of thanks. We braved the storm, and came to the ride. Boy, are we glad we did! That was the nicest organized ride we have ever done. Everything was well organized, the routes were incredible, with a great combination of sights, nice roads, and enough hills to make it good exercise. My wife and friend did the 45, and I peeled off for that extra 20. It was fantastic to be able to meet back up with them. The staff were all very nice and the refreshments were better than we have ever had. And somehow it only rained while we were at the 3rd stop. Again, I know you never get enough praise compared to all the work it took to do such a nice job, but we have all mentioned several times how very nice your ride was, and we will strive to do it again, and bring more friends. Thanks very much, Darr and Stacey

I just wanted to say thank you for putting on the best century ride that I have ridden all year.  My wife and I both rode and were very impressed with all the work that must have gone on to make such a great ride. The scenery was fantastic, the sag stops were well managed and stocked with all kinds of goodies. The t-shirts are very nice and the post ride meal was outstanding.
