It is very cool to see Maidei making her way around the world. I have never been to Atlanta so it was great to see a snippet of your city. You have some wonderful buildings.

Maidei's continued adventure
I'll be handing off to Skibum this evening. I believe she has plans to visit Virginia in the next few days and participate in the Ride Across Virginia with Maidei. We had planned a bike-to-bike handoff on the Silver Lake Route in the Brookhaven-Buckhead area of town, but I have developed a significant upper respiratory infection and fever, so no biking for me today.
I can't wait to hear about Maidei's continued travels!

I'll be meeting up with skibum at Bike Virginia, and hopefully doing a handoff to some DC-area folks who will also be on the ride.

Maidei's adventure in Atlanta
Here are just a few pictures of my time in Atlanta. What fun I had! After, the tour of the city of Atlanta, I took the opportunity to pose with some of the Town Turtles of the city of Sandy Springs (Betsy's community).

Handoff to Skibum, June 23, 2010. Can't wait to ride "Bike Virginia" and start my journey to the Mid-Atlantic and NE!

I just saw the video- how fun. What a great video for Maidei's debut into the US. I was smiling the entire time. And thank you Mike, too.

Way cool skinimini! Atlanta looks like an interesting place.
I do have one odd question..I expected your accent to be stronger being from the Southern US..Are you a long time Atlantan or a recent addition?
I look forward to listening to more accents

I really had fun with Maidei and I was so lucky that my bike buddy Mike loves to take videos. I only wish I had been able to do a bike handoff to skibum--I looked OK in the pic, but I have never been as sick as I was this past Wed. DH actually had to drive me to handoff.

As for Southern accent--I think I have a very strong accent. Raised in Alabama, college in Virginia (maybe those yankees from across the Mason-Dixon line had a little effect on me), and Atlanta for the past 24 years. Southern through and through!
