Hygiene FAQ
|
Is indoor camping available? Yes. Every site has indoor camping. It may get crowded in a gym. If it is raining outside, or air conditioned inside, it will get very crowded. We request air conditioning at each stop, but it is not always available. |
Sixty miles a day is a long way. What is I have to use the bathroom during the ride? BRAG and Special Olympics Georgia will have rest stops set up every 15 to 20 miles along the route. Each rest stop will have several porta-potties. If you can’t wait till the next rest stop, go in the bushes. Just watch out for poison ivy and snakes. |
The Ride application says that hot showers are provided every night. Is this a joke? NO! The overnight sites may run out of hot water, but the shower truck uses propane-heated water that is heated as it is used. It will not run out of hot water.

I've heard that I may have to stand in lines on BRAG. Is that true? Only if you need to use the porta-potties on the route. Oh, and sometimes the food lines get kind of long. We tell the food providers to hurry it up, but sometimes they don’t listen. And then sometimes there is a line at the shower during peak times. Remember what we said about leaving your “in-a-hurry” attitude at home. Think of lines as linear socialization opportunities. Use line time to get to know the person in front of you and the person behind you. We have people on this ride from all over the United States and Canada and from all walks of life. Approach the ride as an adventure and as an opportunity to make new friends. Also, use your time in line to put on more sun screen. |
Does BRAG allow dogs? Yes, under these three conditions. No one wants to hear a dog barking. No one wants to step in dog doo. Most buildings will not allow animals inside.
|
What does the fee cover? The weekly fee entitles you to maps, entrance to campsites (tent camping or gym camping), nightly entertainment, hot showers, extra porta-potties at overnight sites, rest stops every 15 - 20 miles (with cookies, PowerAde, a variety of fruit, porta-potties), sag wagon support, baggage transportation to the overnight campsites, access to medical team, security team, End-Of-The-Road Meal, medals for kids 15 and under and seniors 65 and older, and lots more. |
