sticking to roots

WEIRD is sticking to its roots and is going to start offering WEIRD tours to Atlantans. There is no way WEIRD can become GEIRD. WEIRD is what sells. There are over 100 club rides a month here. It seems everyone here identifies themselves as a triathlete. People are looking for a safe and unique way to enjoy the exercise of choice. There are not as many off road options for WEIRD inside the perimeter. I have been out to Conyers, at the International Horse Park, where the very first MTB Olympic venue was held in 1996. There is a nice trail system 11 miles from home, kinda like Triangle/Bairds, but signed and longer hills, called Yellow River Trails. There are a lot of linear parks inside the perimeter. Narrow, deep valleys, great for scrambling around. As we get settled with ByBicycles, WEIRD will arise, like a phoenix..
