It's a 62 mile course with 2,850 feet of climbs -- are you in?Â
This Saturday, May 5, beginning at 9 a.m., join hundreds of cyclists participating in the Tour d'Oconee that begins and ends in Watkinsville. Don't fret if the primary course is a bit too much to handle. Optional 35, 25 and 15 mile routes are also available.

There will be food, music and fellowship at a tent set up at Tifosi Optics before and after the event, which is presented by the Oconee County Cycling Organization.  If you aren't a cyclist, you're still welcome to come out and cheer on the participants.
