Rope Mill Dirty Duathlon
Join us on November 8th for everyone’s favorite fall event! Team up with your friends or family! The opening bike loop will be 5.5 miles on the Mill Trails, followed by a 3.3 mile trail run on Explorer, and finally a 5.5 mile bike on the Avalanche Trails. The course covers all the trails at Rope Mill Park! Solo, 2 and 3 person beginner/family team categories are available in the duathlon. All participants receive a tri-blend shirt and commemorative event mug! We will be using traditional mountain bike race categories, as we have done in the past, to help alleviate congestion on the opening bike loop. The run is short enough that those who do not typically run still have plenty of time to start training! Prizes and awards presented to the top 3 in each duathlon category. Post race snacks and drinks available. We are also offering a separate 3.3 mile trail run on the Explorer Trails at this event for those who would prefer to just participate in a trail run. Medals and sponsor prizes 3 deep in all duathlon categories, podium shirts for all first place finishers in the duathlon. HAVE FRIENDS/FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE RUNNERS? WE HAVE A SEPARATE 3.3 MILE TRAIL RUN RACE THAT STARTS BEFORE THE DUATHLON!

Georgia Cyclocross Series News
If you are looking for photos from all of the races, check out the GACX Instagram page bio. There is a link to everyone—and we have some amazing photographers this year! Please give them some love if you use their photos on social media to thank them. 

This weekend will be the Georgia State Cyclocross Championships at Elks Ardmore in Conyers. Come out to race or cheer everyone on! Elks is the race that has been in the series the longest continuously. By promoter Jim Behning’s estimation the race has raised over $10,000 for the Elks kids over the years. All profits go back to the kids. Also please note that Elks has swapped dates with Boundary Waters, which is now Nov. 9.

Rose Ride Postponed and Registration Still Open!
From Bearings Bike Works
Mother Nature has other plans this week, so we’re postponing our Rosé Ride to Thursday, October 9. We’re crossing our fingers for crisp fall air, clear skies, and the perfect evening to ride, connect, and celebrate with women in our community.  We’ll gather for a fun 5–6 mile BeltLine ride led by Coach Valerie, then head back to Bearings for wine, charcuterie, a raffle, and conversation. It’s going to be a night you won’t want to miss! 🎟️ Already have your ticket? You’re all set — we’ll see you on the 9th! 📧 Can’t make the new date? No problem — just email Jessi if you’d like a refund, or if you’d like to consider your ticket purchase a donation (we’ll mail your tank top!). ✨ Haven’t grabbed your ticket yet? There’s still time — join us and invite a friend!

We can’t wait to see you on October 9 for an evening of movement, laughter, and community!

TBRA Defunct
It’s only taken me more than a year, but I’ve finally been able to confirm that TBRA-the TN Bicycle Racing Association-is defunct. The website has not been kept up, and there are not that many race in Tennessee these days. I’ve been pulling them from USAC’s event search and a couple of single-event/promoter sites that I know of.  I’ve heard the same of the Carolinas Cycling Association although there does appear to be very limited activity on their Facebook site It seems like USAC has been letting their local associations die out. GBRA is still very much around for Georgia. They keep up with the state championships, the state champ jerseys and medals, and such. 

News for 9-21-2025
I’ve been asked recently why I do not list races like NICA, Georgia Cycling, and Collegiate (USAC) racing on the calendars. These have very limited audiences and are not open to everyone. If your high schooler or middle schooler is on a GC team, you know when the races are. Same with collegiate–you know or your coach tells you. I only list races that are open to the “public.” By design, NICA, GC, and USAC Collegiate races have restricted entries. Yes, some races listed are age specific like the “NC Senior Games” and such–but anyone from any state that is the right age can race. Not the same as with the others I mentioned. So, that’s why you won’t see restricted registration races on Southeastern Cycling. For example you have a 16 year old high school Junior that wants to register for a Georgia Cycling race, but they arent’ on a GC team. They can’t register even if they are the right age. They have to join a team. If you do have a MS or HS student that wants to race mountain bikes, please contact GC or NICA to find the team nearest to you.
