History
BRAG was originally called Georgia’s Annual State Bicycling Event (GASBE) when it first began in 1980. The head leader on the ideas for this event was Dot Moss. The inspiration originally came from the bicycle tour in Iowa called RAGBRAI (Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa). The first ride began in Savannah, Georgia, and finished in Columbus, Georgia. The ride was a total of 300 miles.
