The BICYCLE RIDE ACROSS GEORGIA is an annual odyssey of discovery of gorgeous Georgia by bicycle. BRAG is a family-oriented tour. It is not a race. It is recreational, social, and, in many ways, educational. While a strenuous journey, BRAG has been completed by all types of people: college students and first graders, judges and soldiers, teachers and grandparents. It's like a fun summer camp for the whole family.

On BRAG you will see Georgia in a way few others see it...at the quiet, slower pace of a bicycle ride. You'll discover things about Georgia, and about yourself, that you never even suspected. You will meet people from all over the nation and the world. Many riders come back year after year to make BRAG a favorite part of their vacation. Riders travel at their own pace along a set route. At the end of each day's ride, we tent camp at a local high school or college. Limited indoor camping will be available at all overnight sites, usually in the gym. Some riders will choose to stay at local motels. During the afternoon and evening, there will be activities and entertainment. The towns we'll visit go all out to make sure we have a great time.

BRAG will take us over the lightly traveled back roads of South Georgia to Coastal Georgia, through small towns and rural countryside. As much as possible, the route will follow scenic roads with minimal auto traffic. In places where we have no alternative, we must travel on high traffic roads, usually for short distances. Roads are not closed to automobiles. Riders travel at their own risk.

During June, a typical weather forecast calls for temperatures in the 90s during the day, dropping to the 70s at night. Sometimes afternoon thundershowers pop up, so be prepared for rain.

 

BRAG 2014 is conducted by the Bicycle Ride Across Georgia, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation, in cooperation with volunteer cyclists throughout Georgia and the nation.
