Building upon a long-standing partnership with the East Coast Greenway Alliance, the BRAG (Bike Ride Across Georgia) Dream Team will celebrate its 30th anniversary this summer with its longest ride to date - more than 2,300 miles on the East Coast Greenway from Florida to Maine.
Your gift in honor of this inspirational ride will support the BRAG Dream Team and the East Coast Greenway Alliance!
Beginning Monday, June 17, in Miami Beach, Florida, a group of 15 BRAG Dream Team alumni youth cyclists and experienced adult coaches, led by Alliance Vice Chair Atiba Mbiwan, will ride north for five weeks with an expected finish in Bangor, Maine, on July 20. Along the way, at least 25 BRAG Dream Team alumni and coaches will join the East Coast Greenway Youth Bike Tour for various segments.
All donations made in honor of the BRAG Dream Team's 30th anniversary ride will support the ride and the East Coast Greenway Alliance's effort to complete safe, traffic-free greenways from Maine to Florida.
Created in 1994 by the Bicycle Ride Across Georgia (BRAG) to offer Atlanta Public School students the opportunity to get fit by cycling across the state, the BRAG Dream Team aims "to provide extraordinary cycling experiences for youth to dream beyond their circumstances and grow greater by the mile."
Alliance Board of Trustees Vice Chair Atiba Mbiwan is a long-time leader of the BRAG Dream Team. Get to know Atiba in the video below:
