Forest Park to Rockmart, GA for the start of BRAG 2002.

I rode a Rans Screamer recumbent bike to the start of BRAG 2002. I was able to take everything I needed for the whole week with me. Once the ride started, our support vehicle carried the cargo and then I had riders from the BRAG Dream Team ride the tandem with me through the week.
