Seven Branches Gravel Ride

Embark on an unforgettable cycling journey at the Seven Branches Gravel Ride on March 7, 2026, in the picturesque setting of Pine Mountain, Georgia. This isn't just a ride; it's an opportunity to pedal through breathtaking landscapes and contribute to a vital cause. Cyclists can choose between two engaging distances, approximately 20 miles or a more challenging 40 miles, making it accessible for various skill levels. All proceeds from this unique gravel event are dedicated to funding a clean water well for the Alurs people in a remote region of Uganda, an initiative addressing a community that has lacked clean water for over two decades.

The routes promise an exhilarating mixed-surface adventure, winding through scenic Harris, Meriwether, and Troup Counties. Riders will experience the rolling hills of the Pine Mountains, encountering a diverse terrain that includes rural farmland, tarmac ascents within FDR State Park, and refreshing creek crossings along the historic Seven Branches Road. With over 2000 feet of elevation gain on the longer routes, expect a satisfying challenge amidst a landscape steeped in history, where whispers of the Prohibition era and cool mountain springs add to the charm. Typical race day conditions in early March offer pleasant highs around 69F and lows near 46F, with only a 16% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal climate for a spirited ride.

Starting and finishing at 110 Broad Street in Pine Mountain, the Seven Branches Gravel Ride combines the thrill of exploration with the profound satisfaction of making a global impact. It’s a chance to connect with fellow cycling enthusiasts, conquer scenic Georgia gravel, and ride for a truly meaningful purpose.
