Bring Back The Tour de Georgia!

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:50:19 +0000

From 2003 to 2008 cycling fans were treated to a great race – the Tour de Georgia.

This is the race which brought stage racing back to
the United States!

This is the race which is one of only three 2HC races in
the United States!

This is the ONLY race with the epic Brasstown Bald stage!

We missed the Tour de Georgia in 2009 and we want our Tour back!

It’s time to show sponsors and organizers what the Tour de Georgia means to us. Sponsors will follow the lead of fans and spectators.

The Tour de Georgia Foundation, Inc. (a 501c(3) public charity) is initiating a grassroots coalition made up of ALL cyclists, fans, bike clubs and retailers to shape the Tour de Georgia and grow the fan base every year. The Tour de Georgia should be the flagship event for all U.S. cyclists and we can all play a part in its success.

The Tour de Georgia is positioned to return. Applications for the traditional Tour dates for 2010 have been filed. Now we have to do our part to Bring Back the Tour de Georgia!
