"The City of Statesboro is indeed proud to have been selected to be a host city for a stage start of the 2008 Tour de Georgia. We look
forward to the opportunity to participate in this world class cycling event and we welcome cyclists and spectators to our community to experience the southern hospitality of Statesboro,
Georgia."
- Mayor William Hatcher

Nestled near the golden coast of southeastern Georgia, and only 50 miles from Savannah, is Statesboro, home to Georgia Southern University
and a host of cultural and historical attractions. Touch and watch the eagles soar at the Center for Wildlife Education & Lamar Q Ball Raptor Center, cool off at a spectacular
waterpark, sip on fine South Georgia wine, witness breathtaking sunsets and still be only a tank of gas away from the hustle and bustle of our big city capitol, Atlanta. Sport enthusiasts
will enjoy the magnificent back drop of country backroads and trendy city streets of our Georgia Main Street. Come to Statesboro and take a walk on the wild side!
