BRAG 2010 Jersey
 This year's BRAG jersey was designed by Randy Brown, an experienced cyclist, a former Marine (22 yrs), and
an Ironman triathlete.
While working full time at ATDC (Advanced Technology
Development Center) at Georgia Tech, part-time with his personal business
(MITphotography.com) and training for six triathlons this year, Randy found the
time and graciously accepted the challenge to design the BRAG 2010 jersey. We're glad he did because we love this
jersey and we hope you do too!
If
you would like to pre-order a jersey and add it to your registration, send in a
check for $70 made payable to BRAG. Mail to BRAG, P.O. Box 871111, Stone Mountain, GA 30087.
The
jersey also comes in a sleeveless female cut.
