Do you want to ride for one day or two? Come this Memorial Day Weekend for the Challenge of the Centuries bicycle ride and you can ride what you want!<br /><br />Mix and match your routes to tailor a 2-day training weekend right before the 2012 Bicycle Ride Across Georgia—this is an Official BRAG Training Ride. Or come for just one day and challenge yourself: Is it time for your first century ride? Is a 35 mile ride going to be your longest bike ride ever? Either way, we're prepared to make this a fun weekend for your personal cycling challenge.<br /><br />This 21st annual ride is presented by the Kiwanis Club of Hartwell and will be held on Saturday-Sunday, May 26-27, 2012. They offer two days of well-marked routes in beautiful countryside with very little traffic with three different routes to choose from each day. There's camping indoors or out at our new location at the Bell YMCA just outside of downtown Hartwell. Enjoy nearby restaurants and hotels, and head downtown on Saturday for the Cars &amp; Guitars street festival. Your entry fee will benefit local charitable organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America and Hart Partners.<br /><br />Register early to save $5 and receive a free t-shirt. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Challenge-of-the-Centuries-Bicycle-Ride/117901041579035">&nbsp;Join us on Facebook</a> to share your photos from the ride.
