Memorial Day Recovery

Went for a casual bike ride from my home to find a Memorial Day event in Woodstock, GA.
What a treat!! Proud to be an American! Happy Memorial Day to all that have served, especially
to my Marine Corps Brothers " Semper Fi"

Brewery Horn Mountain 80


Mike Quick and I returned to the starting point ( Budweiser Brewery)
to do the ride scheduled for yesterday. Great day and company for this 80 mile adventure in the N. Georgia back roads. Today's animal  that wanted to pose for us was a Pig. What can I say?????

Flat Tire Saturday


This Saturday we set out for a 80 mile Horn Mountain Loop from the Budweiser Brewery in Cartersville.
At about 19 miles I hit a rock in the middle of the road and pinched a tube and flatted the front tire.
Normally it is a simple replacement of the tube...BUT!, I'm riding new deep dish carbon Zipp wheels  that take a 80mm valve stem and I did not change my spare tube in my saddle pack. Mike Price was good enough to go get his car and give me a ride back to the brewery while Jesse and Mike Quick rode back.
Fun day with good friends but I have miles to catch up.....
