FIXIE RIDIN with LANCE

Per Woolard:

Check out the following site for some great fixie footage. Click the Austin Texas link to see what Mr. Livestrong himself can do on a fixie.

Mafia Racing


I read an article last year about about Mafia Racing and their team/business structure. Maybe it's just me, but these guys and gals embody what cycling should be. Anyone sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon gets a thumbs-up from me.

Doin it the right way.

Suwannee FTF - Ride with TINKER JUAREZ

October 23-25 is the annual Suwannee Fat Tire Festival in White Springs Florida. This year Tinker Juarez will be a guest and ride guide.

Several of us went down two years ago and participated. Beautiful state park. Plenty of trails for all skill levels.

SUBJECT TO CHANGE

9:45 am Friday morning . . . . Dauset 12/6hr postponed due to severe weather.
10:00 - 4:30 pm . . . . Depression
6:30 pm - until . . . . Pity Party at the Mercer's
9:00 am Saturday morning . . . . Plan "B" - Detox at Tom Brown park in Tallahassee

Oh well, the race has been rescheduled for October 3rd, which will be tricky to do, seeing that several of us are going to Helen the following weekend for the Fat Tire Festival and 6hr race.

Either way, it was awesome to have 10 people signed up, pitched in, and ready to race. We tried to put a dent in our "beverage" supply that was so graciously donated by The Vann Man. I'm sure Clark and Suzy will be eating chicken for weeks from all that was prepared and marinated for Saturday night. Maybe Joe and the girls will get some.

Back to planning for the next one.

Top 10 Reasons to NOT turn a group ride into a RACE

10. It’s really not fair to drop the 8 year old before the bridge

9. The guy in the skateboard helmet can’t ask you “What’s your cyclo-speed-meter say?”

8. Neon jerseys passing by at a fast pace reminds you of the disco lights at the P2 Club

7. The guy on the recumbent won’t do his share of work

6. There’s no pace motorcycle telling you the gap between you and the 79 year old lady on the Giant Moab

5. Tri athletes aren’t in their bathing suits

4. It takes time to eat PB&J sandwiches and brownies washed down with homemade hose water

3. The guy with the pony tail isn’t there to explain the “white line” rule.

2. If you skip sags you can’t stock up on free marathon bars, sample packs of ibuprofen, and sport gels

1. Bruce Dickman’s not announcing – nuff said

Sag Stop at SABA Beach

Sag stop was the self supported kind, but the view was hard to beat!

Clark enjoying his Dipped Mojo Bar immensely!

Suzy's Pink Panther gets all wet, but just up to it's rims. It left it's water wings back in the team car and didn't want to drown.

Log Roll vs Nut Roll

The North Georgia contingent of SGC did the Log Roll today instead of the PCP's Nut Roll. Who had more fun?



Suzy and Pink Panther rocking the Log Roll and managing a smile at the same time! Cheese!




Lloyd on Orange Crush showing off mad skillz. Not bad for an old man.

And of course, Superman flew over the logs so fast, the camera couldn't capture him, so you'll just have to take my word for it that he cleaned them like a pro. After all, he DOES ride a Blur...
