America’s #1 cycling race, the “Tour de Georgia,” came through Suwanee on April 25, 2008. Starting at Town Center Park, the peloton rode through six miles of Suwanee before heading off to Dahlonega.
As it races 134 miles from Suwanee to Dahlonega, they even passed in front of Suwanee Dental Care’s offices! So we managed to take a few shots…
