clunkers

If you need a clunker for saturdays coffee clunker cruise, we gots some here for you to use. Our goal for the ride is to have everyones ARSE sore!!

Winter still hanging on

Back home, back on goes the woolies. WOW! Half a year of winter! Is this what global warming is? I am seeing more people out on the roads and trails.
Camp open May 1. Triangle is 80% open....some of the steep hills are still greazy. He-Nis-Ra should be good, but have not been there yet. Riverview is said to be in good shape, as should be Winter Park.....Do you know all these trails??
Roads are pretty clean now. Lots of pot holes and cracks are noticed this time of year, too. Skills to work on would be the bunny hop, panic stop, and the rock dodge...
It's an excellent time of year to work on wind gusts and riding into wind. (with the wind is too easy).

Tours and skill classes are available 5 nights a week, as well as 7 days a week. WEIRD works out on your schedule. To schedule one, call 371-2227

Gone

Those whole 10 days in Atlanta.....GONE. That is one hell of a nice town!! My plan to blog daily fell apart...We parked the van when we got there, and never used it again for 8 days. Very pedestrian friendly, also bike friendly ( they drive fast, but they're nice, IF YOU FOLLOW THE RULES). There were a lot of BAD cyclist down there. It was very hilly for cycling ALL the time!! It is the #2 reason more locals dont ride. We rode a path from near downtown, all the way out to Stone Mountain. (24 miles one way) There is this huge rock out in nowheres land?? Massive relief statue in the rock that makes Rushmore seem small. We rode the 6 mile "loop" of the park....WOW!! Shaded most of the way around, one lane for traffic, a bike lane, a runner lane, and a sidewalk.. It was as close to heaven as I've been on a bike, ever....then we rode back to downtown (24 miles). We felt the Decatur area was what we were looking for. Unlimited job potential. I want to duplicate what we wanted to do here. What do you think of when you hear urban guide??
