Georgia BikeFest 2012     

 

The 21st annual Georgia BikeFest will be held October 12 - 14, 2012. Come and enjoy the warm days and cool evenings of Georgia in October. Ride the scenic terrain of Muscogee, Chattahoochee, and Harris counties and surrounding areas. This will be the second year Georgia BikeFest has been held in Columbus, GA.

REGISTER NOW BEFORE THE LATE FEE BEGINS SEPTEMBER 29, 2012.  Register with mail-in paper registration, or you may register with a credit card online. There are no additional fees for registering with a credit card. If you are registering by mail, it must be postmarked no later than September 29, 2012, to avoid the late fee. The late fee is $15 for the weekend or $5 per day of riding. 

This year's ride headquarters will be located in uptown Columbus at Woodruff Park, located next to the Chattahoochee River and the Riverwalk Path. Uptown restaurants are a block away. Routes have various mileage options each day with a fully-supported new Century Ride on Saturday, in Georgia!

Plan to ride the Century Ride on Saturday and receive the coveted Georgia BikeFest Century Ride Bandanna. We will also give out the 2012 BRAG Centurion Club hats to those riders who rode the three BRAG Century Rides this year.
  • Friday, October 12 - Sweet Home Alabama Ride - 49/23/12 mile options
  • Saturday, October 13 - Tour de Muscogee & Harris Century Ride - 100/62/40/22 mile options
  • Sunday, October 14 - The Hooah Ride - 50/41/28/16 mile options

The various route options will ensure that there's a ride suited just for you each day.  While riding, you'll benefit from the Ride on Bikes bicycle repair vehicle and BRAG sag wagons patrolling the route, as well as the famous BRAG rest stops located every 10 to 20 miles along the ride.

 

Rest stop volunteers will be benefiting the Children's Miracle Network.  

 

Don't miss out on the fun during the BikeFest weekend. There is a band in Uptown Columbus from 7pm - 10pm on Friday evening, the Fat Tire Happy Hour Friday and Saturday from 4pm - 6pm at The Loft Upstairs in Uptown Columbus, and S'mores back at BRAG HQ Friday and Saturday evenings.
