Hard-copy registration Cue sheets: Athens start | Winterville start | Union Point start RideWithGPS routes: Athens start | Winterville start | Union Point start Sponsor the ride! Choose to start at 9:00 from: Jittery Joe's Roaster, 425 Barber St. in Athens Pittard Park (corner of Parkview Rd. and Church St.), Winterville Union Theatre, 101 Fluker St., Union Point Our out-and-back routes closely follow the path of the planned Firefly Trail. The full out-and-back course from Athens or Union Point is 87 miles, with on-route support and fully-stocked SAG stops (including restrooms) every 9-13 miles in Athens, Winterville, Crawford, Maxeys, Woodville, and Union Point. This on-road ride features the lowest-traffic roads we could find close to the historic corridor of the Georgia Railroad Athens Branch. Riders who enjoy flatter terrain will especially enjoy the route from Union Point to Woodville or Maxeys. Round-trip options as short as 12 miles are available, making this a perfect ride for cyclists of all interests and abilities, and a great warm-up for BRAG. Pre-registration is $40, students pay $30, and day-of registration is $45. Teams of five or more members are welcome to register for $35 each before the day of the ride. (Individual registration online will not show the $35 fee. A check will be mailed to the team captain for the $5 difference for each team member.) Celebrate your strong finish with a party. Live music, beer, and food will be available at the Jittery Joe's finish line. The Union Point finish line will also feature live music, food, and beer. Riders over the age of 21 with ID will get one free brew with their wristband. Registration is now online at Active.com! A hard-copy registration/waiver may also be mailed to us with your check. Registrants who do not end up riding are welcome to pick up their bags from Cycle Sport Concepts.
VolunteerWill you only feel comfortable on a bike once the Firefly Trail is built? Then volunteer with us on the day of the ride! There are plenty of jobs you can do to show your support and help make the trail a reality. Volunteers receive free Firefly Trail t-shirts.
