February 16th, 2022 DUBLIN, GA – Bicycle Ride Across Georgia (BRAG) is hosting its mid-week layover in Dublin, GA from June 7th through June 9th, 2022. Hundreds of cyclists from across the country will be camping in Stubbs Park for two nights.

BRAG is a not-for-profit corporation providing family-oriented bicycle tours across the state of Georgia. The theme of this year’s week-long summer BRAG tour is “Peaches to Beaches – A Tour of Georgia’s Farms.” The 2022 route takes cyclists from Columbus, GA to Brunswick, GA. Cyclists will arrive in Dublin on June 7th, will have a layover day in Dublin on June 8th, and depart the morning of June 9th. Cyclists get to experience all that Dublin has to offer from food, activities, and entertainment.

BRAG spent a previous layover in Dublin in June 2016, which allowed Dublin the opportunity to showcase local music and the best culinary delights in Dublin’s Stubbs Park and Downtown areas for three days. Bicycle Ride Across Georgia Executive Director Franklin Johnson said, “BRAG is excited to have Dublin host our layover dates in Stubbs Park. Our riders will definitely be taking advantage of the many great dining choices. Plus, we have a number of cyclists from Dublin, including some of our Dream Team participants.”

Careful planning between Visit Dublin GA, the Downtown Dublin Development Authority, and the City of Dublin, along with local clubs, businesses, and volunteers, gives Dublin the opportunity to top the experience BRAG had in 2016 and feature the positive changes and new businesses in the area over the last five years.

BRAG routes change each year, providing cyclists the opportunity to experience all of Georgia from the perspective of two wheels. BRAG holds multiple rides throughout the year.
