What is it? The TNGA is a 350+ mile mountain bike route through the mountains of North GA on trails, forest roads, and paved roads featuring challenging terrain, beautiful scenery and over 56,000 feet of climbing. 

Does Mulberry Gap Run TNGA? Nope! TNGA is it’s own thing. However, Mulberry Gap is the main support system used by riders participating in the event. 

Is this the same as the “Ride to Extraordinary?” Yes! You might have seen the documentary following the 2017 TNGA. You can find this awesome adventure-packed film on Amazon Prime Video: RIDE TO EXTRAORDINARY

How do I reach the TNGA Organizers? You can keep track of updates on the TNGA Facebook page, become a part of the TNGA BIKEPACKER’S Facebook group, or email Jeff Williams (Race Director) tngarace@gmail.com.

When does TNGA happen? Traditionally, the event starts on the weekend of the Third Saturday in August. The official Grand Depart of the 16th annual TNGA will be Saturday August 16, 2025!
