Upcoming Events

Bicycle Ride Across Georgia

Have you ever thought of doing the Bicycle Ride Across Georgia without the assistance of a motorized vehicle? Well, whether you have or not, here is your chance. A few adventurous cyclists are looking to extend the enjoyment of BRAG to two weeks. BRAG is starting in Hiawassee this year, so the tentative plan is to use three days to ride to the start and three days to ride home from the end. This will be a self-supported ride, so be prepared for some heavy riding with additional weight on the bike. For more information, email Tommy Lupo, or call (404)317-0289.
