Major Bike Tour to Roll into Roswell during Early June

Roswell will be seeing quite a few more cyclists on the road June 5-7 as BRAG – Bicycle Ride Across Georgia – rolls through.
BRAG is a family-oriented eight day journey across Georgia with over 1,500 cyclists participating. The annual event takes a different touring route each year and this is the first time Roswell has been selected to host a "layover."
Cyclists are expected to arrive mid-day Tuesday, June 5 at , spending all day June 6 shopping, dining and enjoying Roswell. They will leave early in the morning on Thursday, June 7. City leadership is excited because BRAG is a great opportunity to showcase all Roswell has to offer.
