The European Classic: Always around the first day of spring, hence its nickname, Milan-San Remo is the first of the single day classics and one of the five "monuments" of cycling. This long ride (~300 km) is considered one of the easiest to finish but hardest to win. The terrain is relatively easy until the last 30 km where a series of short hills make the end difficult. Historically won by a strong all-around rider but more recently won by pure sprinters who have been able to survive the final two hills, the Cipressa and the Poggio.

GTC Classic Course Description:  This GTC ride is ~90 km over mostly flat, traffic-free terrain in Walton county (60 km option available) and will be familiar to those of you who have ridden Robert’s Rural Route.  There is one short 16% hill within site of the finish.  Detailed maps provided.  Ride leaves from Yargo elementary school in Barrow county. 

Directions: This ride leaves from Yargo Elementary. From I-85, take highway 316 east and make a right on Patrick Mill road.  Immediately turn left on Tom Miller road, follow for 2 km and turn left on Haymon Morris road.  Yargo ES is immediately on the right.  From highway 78, make a left on highway 81 in Loganville, left on Tom Miller road (~ 18 km), right on Haymon Morris and the school will be on your immediate right.
