GTR 2015: Macon, Georgia

The largest tandem rally in the south returns to Macon for GTR 2015. Join us for a memorable Memorial Day from May 21-24, 2015. GTR last visited Macon in 2011. This time we go to the opposite side of the city for new venues, new routes, and a new host hotel. We'll spend the weekend in the restored downtown area of the city. From the railroads to the early days of rock and roll, you will experience a historical treasure. It's Macon like only GTR can present it.

GTR 2015 Day By Day (Subject to change.)
Thursday, May 21: The GTR family reconvenes with a party at the Hummingbird Lounge. Located in historic downtown Macon, the 'Bird promises to be a great venue for you to reconnect with old friends, and make new ones too.

Friday, May 22: Let's ride! Our first ride starts from the "center of the universe", or at least the center of the state. This remote start ride with options of 33-62 miles visits Jeffersonville and the plaque that marks the geographical center of the state. GPS geeks will be in seventh heaven on this ride. Friday night features an ice cream social at the historic Douglass Theater, a restored theater from the golden age of Hollywood.

Saturday, May 23: We have a busy day planned, beginning with a ride to Gray, located to the north of Macon. The ride has options of 30-62 miles and features a few "cardiac opportunities" as it winds through the wooded fields of central Georgia. Ride hard, because lunch is at the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, located less than one mile from our host hotel. Saturday night, we'll have a blowout banquet, at the Macon Metroplex, located just steps away from your hotel room.

Sunday, May 24: Can we squeeze in a little more fun on the tandems before we head for home? You betcha! We'll head east today, with options of 26 and 36 miles. Then we pack up the 17th edition of the Georgia Tandem Rally and start thinking about GTR 2016. Believe it or not, we already know where we want to have it!
