You Can't BRAG if you don't Ride!

Thanks to our friends at "BRAG", Bicycle Ride Across Georgia, for inviting the AOC to participate in their big annual bike ride in Newnan, GA!  On Friday June 12th the ride will be in LaGrange, we'll email more details as it gets closer or read more on the Brag website www.brag.org

There will be 7 days of riding, camping, and local entertainment, as well as plenty of opportunities to hang out with friends - new and old!

All are welcome to ride as many days and miles as they choose, Trena and Bill will be in attendance for the Friday ride as part of an AOC Group. The mileage options for that day are 44 and 66. While this AOC event is posted for the 44 mile option, you are welcome to do the longer ride. The fee includes camping either the night before or the night after if people want to camp. We will meet at the BRAG Headquarters in  Newnan, GA to start our ride. All levels of experience are welcome, as well as all types of bikes but would strongly recommend a road bike or hybrid.  It's not a race so you can ride at your own pace, you will not be expected to stay together as an AOC group, there will be lots of other riders and you may find others that are your pace you'd prefer to ride with. 

Maps are included but the route is clearly marked.  There is food, drink and porta potties located at the rest stops along the way every 15 to 20 miles.

There is no organized group start.  It's a ride not a race.

NOTE: For safety, helmet required to be worn during this event.  No helmet, no bike ride.
