The GABRA BAR Competition is a year long Georgia statewide competition to crown a BAR - Best All-Around Rider annually. In addition to the GABRA BAR Competition, which is open to out-of-state riders, GABRA will annually provide individual RR, TT and Criterium state championship events where the highest placed GA resident will be awarded the state championship in each event.

For this first year of the BAR series, the winner of each BAR category will receive a custom designed GABRA BAR jersey and an award/trophy. BAR Competition awards will be handed out to the winners for each category at the end of the season.
