    This is the first test of the knee. I did two centuries last weekend and it felt okay - stiff at the beginning of the first one, and then fine.

    The race has four checkpoints, and you get to them however you want - Elliot St. Pub by the GA Dome, Gear Revival near GA Tech, The Nook by Piedmont Park (with the Art Festival going on), to Outback Bikes in Little 5 Points, No Brakes, then back to Elliot St. With the Art Festival in the park, a BBQ festival at Turner Field, and major construction on the interstates forcing traffic onto the surface streets, traffic is gonna be intense. Oh well - this is all just practice for Sebring.

    Good luck!

    Good luck! We live next door to the Nook (literally), so perhaps we'll see you come by!

    If not, there's a 99% chance we'll see you at Sebring.

    Be safe!
    Slow and steady (like a train!)

    Did you see me????

    What a wacky, crazy race! I ended up with 216 miles (17 laps), but I stopped at around 9:30 this morning. I could have gotten two more laps before the race ended at noon, but I had no reason. I wasn't going to win (came in second) and things were starting to go numb (hands, big toe, bottom of right foot?) and traffic got insane. The start/stop finish was in a nice deserted area all weekend, until it became Grand Central for the Falcon's football tailgaters who started swarming aroun 8:00. It stopped being fun and became just annoying and dangerous, so I stopped.

    People were putting in amazing lap times, but to do so, you had to really just ignore every bit of common sense with regards to playing in traffic. I don't play like that. So, I sat behind a line of cars and watched the top contenders just roll on by. Oh well. My goal was to see if my knee would hold up for over 200 miles, and it did. Elevation gain was between 13,000 (Garmin Connect) to almost 15,000 (Plus3) so I'm understandably whipped.

    That's seriously amazing, and I'm impressed you put up with them even for 90 minutes

    Congratulations! Nice job!!
