Tour of Atlanta
1 prologue, 1 crit, 4 circuits, 1 RR.
Who's in? I'm pretty sure I will be going, as will some of the other UF kiddies. It's going to be a really long weekend.

I just realized that there is no omnium for anyone but the p12. That sucks.

Basically, the weekend was dominated by people that were perfectly happy riding around in a pack until the finish. I don't have much of a sprint so I found myself attacking on almost every stage. Every attack failed, but at least I got some sort of a workout.
The RR was the bright, shiny spot of the weekend. I got into a 3 man break for about 10 miles. When we got caught, I recovered for 10 min and jumped on another break. It failed too. I cruised around in easy for the next hour. I think I finished in the top 10. A 14yr that outputs 5watts/kg won.
I'm not a big fan of Georgia Cup. I think that will be my last GC race.

You should think about doing the Georgia State Games up in Kennesaw in mid-July. There's no money on the line, but the races are just damned fun. However, if history repeats itself, the cat4 crit will be in a downpour (I'm assuming you're a 4).
BTW -- who are you and do you do the hipp rides?

I have a weak sprint and hate the player and the game.

The cat3 races looked difficult so I can't blame you for doing so few.
Precisely
I might do those races. The crit course looks fun.
Yup, I'm a 4 now. Hopefully, if I stop racing like a moron, I will be able to upgrade to 3's soon.
I will probably be doing one of the hipp rides next week. I'll make sure to introduce myself.

Yeah. Racing in Georgia is a lot of fun. Racing the Georgia Cup races isn't.

BTW, I'll be the guy on the giant with the cycle-logic kit.
