Home  Rides and Races Fool's Gold MTB Race
The Fool's Gold 100 is Georgia's first and only 100 mile mountain bike race, brought to you by the race director of the largest and most fun 24 hour mountain bike race in the Southeast, the BURN 24 Hour Challenge! Fool's Gold 100 will be the 6th race of the 2009 National Ultra Endurance Mountain Bike Race Series. Expect lots of singletrack with a few gravel road grunts. Be prepared to ride hard..and drink a few brews. With the low entry great schwag, all of the essential amenities (i.e. optional lodging with meals & beer) all weekend, and cash payout for the Open Men/Womens class in the 100 miler, we think this one will be on your race calendar for good! The guys from Sweetwater Brewing Co. will again be giving a case of Sweetwater 420 to the first racer to cross the finish line at 4:20pm...this could be a good sprint to watch.
...and,last but certainly not least...the guys from Terrapin Beer will, once again, be sponsoring the Turtle Award, a case of Terrapin brew for the last person to finish the 50 miler and the 100 miler. DFL never sounded so good, eh?

"The Tour de Georgia has established itself as one of the best
competitions for pro cyclists and for cycling fans. The race is
perfectly placed in the calendar as a good test for my fitness and the
climbing in the mountains is the best of any North American race."
- Levi Leipheimer (Astana Pro Cycling Team), 2007 USA Cycling
Professional Road Race Champion, two stage wins in 2007 Tour de Georgia and 3rd
Overall at 2007 Tour de France
