WEIRD meet up

I am going to use the "meet up" business model for some of my events. There is a huge market for the GEIRD workouts, as I've been finding out on the local hammerfests. They will most likely be nightly or a few nights a week at 7pm out of the Decatur MARTA stop.  Most rides start at 630 here, where as in my old home town they'd get going about 5:30. They will be promoted and invitations will come from meetup.com. It's very cool. There is a "meet up" for just about anything you could want.  More to follow. 

Its time

We've been here 1 month! What a ride we've had so far. There is so much opportunity here, its hard to contain ourselves. We got overtaken by a pack of inline skaters the other night. There was like 30 in the pack as they swallowed us up on our trike tandem. There are alleycats galore. Fixies everywhere. And lots of riders use toe clips here?? I have found some dirt paths in the greenspaces, but have not ridden my MTB's yet. There are 4 nice mtb parks within 1 hour of our home in Decatur. Remember they had the Olympics here a few years back. So there is the olympic CC course at Conyers horse park. They say it's very sweet. Soon, WEIRD will arise, like a pheonix......

settling in

It is time to start getting busy. I am going to focus my attention on bicycle advocacy while I learn the streets and trails. I will be sending most of my blog information to our buisness blog at www.bybicycles.blogspot.com. It might be a few weeks until I feel comfortable leading WEIRD tours. We have identified there is a need for clunker club here, so the CCC and the CCC will take place here in Decatur. The possibilities are unlimited.

Free bikes

Cruising around Emory U we noticed these commuter bikes for let. Nice urban comfort bikes with metal racks and locks. A very bike friendly university. Tommorrow we will ride in the "Georgia ride to the Capitol". An advocate ride that gets about a 1000 riders, on a weekday! Great opportunity to network our buisnesses to the ATL community.

Just like home

Well, they said it could snow in ATL. It did. 2 inches, big wet flakes. I still had studs on my fixed mtb, so out the door I went. Here I am in the decatur cemetary. There were many Decaturites out and about enjoying the snow. Every street had families out making snow people, walking, playing with the dogs. During the ride there was thunder snow with lightning! Tommorrow it'll be 55, warming into the 70s by weeks end. Ahhhh.
