Hear us recount the allure of Covington and Oxford, where movie magic meets the streets, and the familar touch of Social Circle, a place close to Franklin's heart. Midweek, we'll be taking a well-earned breather in Milledgeville, savoring local distillery tours or perhaps catching up on laundry—the simple pleasures that keep us cyclists going. And for those with less time on their hands, we chat about the 'Brag Lite' option, ensuring everyone can join in, even if just for a shorter stint.Our episode wouldn't be complete without sharing the anticipation that builds as we approach Savannah. We'll talk about swapping two wheels for a tube on the river in Milledgeville, the vibrant university town of Statesboro, and the thrill of rolling into Savannah's historic grandeur. Franklin even tossed around the idea of a side trip to Tybee Island or enjoying a game with the Savannah Bananas. Finally, we cap off with a nod to camaraderie and international cycling adventures that await those who join BRAG, because a community that cycles together grows together, through history, culture, and the simple joy of the ride.
