You can help usher in the 36th Annual BRAG for June 7-13, 2015, by registering NOW. You can show your support for BRAG and this new loop concept and save some money in the process. From now until August 31, 2014, the adult weekly fee registration fee is only $240. It was $320 for 2014. That's a savings of $80 over the 2014 fee, or 25%. The weekly senior fee (was $310, now $232), the weekly child 7-17 fee (was $135, now $101) and the weekly college student fee (was $220, now $165) are also 25% off until August 31, 2014.

Unlike some other state rides, BRAG has free indoor camping (usually with a/c), cups at rest stops, hand-washing facility at most rest stops, and route descriptions (cue sheets), among other amenities.

Register now for BRAG 2015, save 25%, and start promoting the new BRAG loop concept to your family and friends. You can either register online at http://www.imathlete.com/events/BicycleRideAcrossGeorgia/register with your credit card (no processing fees) or download a paper registration form and mail it in with your check.

Some of you may be questioning the new "figure 8" concept of BRAG 2015. In an effort to meet the needs of our changing cyclist population, this concept appeals to those wanting to ride three days, or a century ride, or the entire week. And, the important part is that no buses will be needed. You will have your car whether you ride three days, only the Century Ride in Newnan, or the entire week.

We hope this new concept and the proposed route will be met with enthusiasm, and that you will continue to ride with us some or all of BRAG 2015. Bring your friends and family. Register now and save 25%.
