Finally got some flat terrain training time this week in Atlanta. I got in 36 miles on the Silver Comet before having to get out of the way of yet more storms and tornado warnings. However, the most interesting thing on the ride was this humungous turtle in the middle of the trail. Never seen anything like it with a dragon like tail. After we all gawked a bit at this unusual sighting in the middle of the trail a nice rider from Team in Training moved him out of the path with the turtle kicking, hissing and rising to an aggressive posture.
Ingrate He's lucky another islander unlike me could have turned him into a succulent Turtle soup. I tried to post his pics but it needs resizing and I'm too lazy and tired right now to try.
