Mid-week, the tour stays two nights in one town allowing riders to either rest or ride a century with lesser mile options.
BRAG was originally called Georgia's Annual State Bicycling Event (GASBE) when it first began in 1980.
"[4] BRAG volunteers choose the route each year and when the time comes around, they help paint the arrows and other lines on the pavement.
When the trek for the day is complete, the cyclists stop in a city or town, and set up camp at a local high school or college.
[6] If riders want to go out, a shuttle provides transportation between the camp site and touristic spots around town.
Official BRAG rest stops are spaced every 10 to 15 miles and provide drinks and snacks to riders.
Organizers suggest that riders not stop longer than 5 minutes to avoid difficulty restarting that may come from lactic acid.
[7] Cyclists not able to take the heat (average temperature is usually around 90 degrees Fahrenheit) or not able to ride up a hill can be picked up by BRAG support wagons.
"[4] BRAG experts and experienced trekkers advise that participants ensure their bikes are tuned up and in good condition for the ride.
They also advise that riders stick to a consistent cadence (pedaling speed) of at least 80 revolutions per minute, and know how to operate their gears correctly.
