Tour of Atlanta
Looks like crappy payout, but awesome courses. Better than a flat race in Naples!!!
Anyone else going?

I'm *thinking* about going since I have a 4-day weekend and could stay at my brother's place in Marietta for free.

We'll have some guys there. The promoter is notorious for crappy payouts. It's just far enough from here that a win doesn't cover gas and entry fees.
Look for guys in blue and green Beck kits.

Nope, but I would be racing there if Inwasn't headed to ATL.

Got an email yesterday that said they had a lot of out of state entries, I am wondering if this has to do with the US Pro Championships being in Greenville on Monday...the circuit race could be quite difficult...

anybody else going to Naples? That was an easier sell for a Memorial day weekend with the family.

Will be riding the Burnt Mountain Road Race on Monday only - daughter's first birthday is on Saturday and family still in town thru Sunday. I'm hoping my "fresh" legs on Monday will be an advantage! This will be my first race as a CAT 4 and of course, noticed they recently a 2nd lap to the race for the 4's and they're allowing 3's the option of doing only 2 laps (racing with the 4's) vs doing 3 laps. This doesn't bode well for me.

I meant Mikey and Derek. Those two have been spanking the crap out of everyone lately.
