Did anyone ride the Hospitality Highway Century yesterday in Atlanta GA?

There were a bunch of photographers. I'm wondering where they would post the pictures.

Oh yeah, that was one tough ride. I thought I was never going to make it up that Mountain Park Hill That was one of the few times I've ever had to hoof it up. At least I wasn't alone, so that makes me feel a little better. So much fun to ride on Ga 400, however!

There are a few pictures on AJC.com. The local NBC news affiliate also had a short blurb.

I heard it was really tough with all the little neighborhood hills. I might be glad I had to work instead of riding.

Some of the hills were intense... especially the Mountain Park hill. I thought it was a beautiful ride though.

Great pic! Notice all the brake lights as people going the other way, say "What the?"

Great job to all who rode! Sounds like a tough century

Nope! I had planned on doing it until my riding buddies told me wheels down was at 6:30am Heck no!! I loove my pillow way more and I'm sooooo glad that I did. That ride had only 3.75 miles on the GA 400, the rest was through the normal sneaky hilly neighborhoods of Atlanta-even some tough elite triathletes begged off at the 30 mile mark.

Funny- I haven't heard back from my Columbian riding buddies waxing on and on about an awesome ride with "rolling" hills. Hmmm...time to reach out and text someone.

Heh! Heh! It was totally painful from most accounts. I wonder what the turnout will be next year. You gotta be a glutton for punishment to:

1. Wake up around 4:30-5:00 am to be ready for this ride.
2. Realize Starbucks doesn't open till after you're well into your ride on Sunday morning and you're stuck in the burbs versus some "cute City of--"
3. Fight all the Baptists (myself included) wondering why in all the name that's Holy you won't get out of their way..It's Sunday why aren't they in church. I made sure I prayed for the safety of all though.

Ha! Even though I had to work, we didn't start until 9:00. And here I was complaining about waking up early to work on a Sunday.

Mile after mile after mile of "rolling" hills just underscored the fact that I probably won't be buying the "She Loves Hills" TE jersey (even though it is bee-utiful). My legs are still sooo sore!
