What Do I Need to Bring?

Where do we stay?

I'm flying into JAX. How do I get back and forth from airport?

For those flying into the Jacksonville Airport, Uber and Lyft are both available in the area. The ride begins at the Omni on Amelia Island in Florida and ends at the Westin on Jekyll Island.

Rideshare costs ranges $85-$150 from Jekyll to JAX, and much lower from JAX to Amelia Island. Make sure to schedule your rides ahead of time in the app. Consider pooling together with others headed to the airport to save on cost.

What about everywhere in between? Ride the BRAG Bus! We can get you to Cumberland and Jekyll with all your luggage and bikes.

Do I need a road bike?

Absolutely not! While a road bike certainly makes things a little easier, people have completed rides on every type of bike you could think of, from mountain bikes, to recumbents, to unicycles. We do not ride very far on Winter Ride relative to other BRAG rides so a hybrid bicycle would get the job done just fine. On Cumberland island you are now allowed to bring your bike, however, the roads are fairly soft sand and a nice road bike would not be recommended.
