Long Story Short

all Work and No Play, flat out sucks,  worked most of Saturday playing catch up,  Sunday was too nice to sit if front of the damn computer! had to get out and get in a ride.  Hadn't been to the Doyle Bottom side of Issaqueena in a year or so.  30 mph winds off the lake,  20*F  colder than the day before.

Hunting Arrow trail

Dixie Dregs

this weekend , Chip, Big J, Josh, Jarett and i drove down to Conyers Horse Park(outside at Atlanta, GA) for the Southeast Bike Expo

this could be the Sea Otter of the east if they played it right, maybe organize a race or two,  draw in a few more vendors and manufacturers.

This is what their logo should be... but i'm sure there'd be some copyright legal issues somewhere.

My Only gripe with whole event was the  beer sponsor  Terrapin Brewing charging $4 for less than 10 oz. of beer.   if you're paying $25 bucks to get in and have a beer sponsor;  beers should be cheaper than that or bigger cups, or at  the very least filled to capacity.

Lots of familiar faces,  Jake from i9, Shanna from Endless Bike, Kevin from SuspEx, Cleve from SRAM, Boyd from Boyd wheels, Liberty Bikes, Dicky, Tad from Sunrift & Sonya, Liz & Scott, Ethan, Greg and Chuck, Bob & Molly.
