Feeling the wind in our hair and the buzz of New Year's still in our veins, Michael and I, Adam, couldn't be more thrilled to recount the festive fireworks that launched us into planning our most ambitious escapade yet: the Big Brag 2024 from Atlanta to Savannah. Franklin Johnson drops by with a cyclist's treasure map, tracing a route peppered with historical gems and Southern splendor, from Oglethorpe University's starting line to the cobblestones of River Street. We're calling all free spirits to join the Cycling Men of Leisure team, as we prep and plot every mile of our pedal-powered pilgrimage.
Along the way, we're taking detours into the hearts of Georgia's quaint towns, where college quads and Hollywood tales abound. Oxford's academic charm gives way to Milledgeville's antebellum pride and the town's complicated embrace of the Rivian plant. We're not just pedaling across Georgia; we're savoring its eclectic beats, from the potential thrill of a Millageville concert to the traditional bandana earned after a grueling century ride. Hear about the nostalgic pull of Statesboro's blues and the growing pains of college towns, as we wheel from one local festival to the next.
As the journey's end nears, the allure of Savannah's Spanish moss becomes irresistible. We'll trade in our bikes for a leisurely stroll down memory lane and through the city's historic squares. Every twist in the route unfolds a new chapter of camaraderie and discovery. So, grab your gear and sense of adventure as we share tales of the road, the intimate kinship amongst riders, and the sheer delight of cycling under Georgia's open sky. Join us, and let's make memories that will outlast even the sturdi

We will be back
