Free tours

As a way to get local input, I'd like to offer any local recreationalists some free tours or trainings. As we get our businesses rolling here in Atlanta, it would be in my best interest to get your opinions on conditions inside the perimiter. Call 9203712227 to reserve a spot or discuss. PLEASE?

Little 5 intersection

Another great day. Walk in the AM. Went to an exibit at Atlantic Station "dialog in the dark", a 1 hour tour in pitch blackness. Wild. Then a nice afternoon bike ride. Here's a dude cruisin' thru little 5 on a high bike. 55/sunny. Light breezes. Is it still winter?

Disc's fly

We are settled. Took the day off. Went for a nice AM exploratory run. Then toured the city showing Ben the sites. Then we went disc golfing at Redan park. Here is hole 15, fairway to heaven. Very straight course, lots of trees, no hills. This will be a nice course for speed disc...

Daily shot

Ben came in today to help unload the trailer. DONE! I picked him up at MARTA with the pedicab. The garage is coming along well. Pedicabs are ready to roll after we get settled. Got out for a ride this afternoon. Here is a driveway in the Oakhurst district. Did I mention its hilly here?

What a day!

Two full days of unpacking the trailer that 5 of us took 3 hours to load! We took a nice bike ride break this afternoon. Here is a huge mansion in a very old section of downtown decatur. Each balcony has ceiling fans (4). Look for the huge deck out back! Tonight there was some tornado action, T storms around the area. Very strange for us in Feb. Bringing the pedicab out tommorrow. Sunny/52 degrees

Last river ride

On Saturday we ventured out onto the duck creek one last time. Big sun, 42 degrees, and wet ice. Here are our bikes under a railroad trestle taking a break. The ATV traffic was fairly heavy, but they provided a nice track to ride in. I'm sure we won't be doing this in georgia.

Last weekend in GB

Our last weekend in GB was a good riding one. 42 degrees on Sat, 38 on Sun. This pic is from uwgb looking toward the mouth of the fox river. The fog is the snowpack melting. Most of the storm sewers are covered by snow & ice, so there are lots of big puddles. Wonderful, wet, & wild
