We Made A Yellow Jersey For A Guessing Game, Because Why Not

What if calling a week-long ride’s overnight towns could win you a jersey no one else will ever own? We turned our BRAG 2026 route fever into a community contest and crowned a winner who came astonishingly close to a perfect map. Along the way, we unpacked why state rides like Bragg are such a powerful gateway into bike touring: approachable daily mileage, supportive staff, flexible sleeping options, and small towns that roll out the welcome mat.

We walk through how riders reverse-engineer a route—looking at mileage norms, terrain, venue capacity, and that all-important Tuesday layover. The winning entry stood out not just for accuracy, but for understanding how a great route balances challenge and charm. That earned him a one-of-a-kind yellow Cycling Men of Leisure jersey co-branded with the BRAG Happy Trails logo, built to stand out across camp and spark conversations about his sharp call.

We also share practical travel tactics that make week-long rides smoother. Book fast the night the route drops. Use simple tools to split trip costs cleanly so friendships stay fun and finances stay fair. Pack for comfort and recovery as much as performance. And most of all, find your people. Riding with a team transforms long days into shared memories—familiar wheels, small rituals, and the kind of support that makes headwinds bearable and finish lines sweeter.

There’s banter, a listener spotlight with city clues, a quick job-search update, and a preview of our Florida swing with golf, Podfest, and a friendly college championship wager. Hit play for the winner reveal, stick around for the travel hacks and team wisdom, and leave ready to map your own adventure. If you’re stoked on the ride, follow, share with a friend who needs a nudge, and drop a review to help more cyclists find the show.
