What I did on my summer vacation: BRAG 2008

The Bicycle Ride Across Georgia:

The Bicycle Ride Across Georgia (BRAG) is an annual road-cycling tour across the US state of Georgia. It began in 1980 as an offshoot of RAGBRAI.

The route covers approximately 400 miles over 7 days with options for longer distances. Mid-week, the tour stays two nights in one town allowing riders to either rest or ride a century with lesser mile options. Rest stops are every 8-15 miles and snacks and drinks are provided to registered riders.

An estimated 1,800 people did the 2008 ride. It left on Saturday, June 7 from Oxford, GA and arrived in St. Simons Island, GA on Saturday, June 14.

My spousal equivalent, Doug, rode his bike. I made this video:

I hope you like it. More here and here.

Very different and cool bike - and I say that as someone who rides a recumbent. He was lucky to be just a mile from a decent bike shop when the wheel went. I once snapped the chain on mine miles from anywhere, and not having a replacement link had a looong walk in front of me, pushing the 'bent the whole way.

Great dogs, too, by the way!
