I am really going to miss the lack of traffic when Spring break is over next week.

I bought a bike yesterday at Atlanta Cycling. It’s a fitness bike and it ticked a lot of boxes. The road bikes I liked started at nearly twice the price (hydraulic disc brakes, 105 components, carbon fork/full carbon). Although I REALLY liked the road bikes, I just don’t think they are ideal for my other in-town commuting. I’ll ride this for a while and if I’m dying for / capable of a true road bike experience then I’ll buy one. Let’s face it—no fancy road bike will allow me to keep up with you guys. 😠But maybe I can ride a bit faster than with my mountain bike. 😠I hope we can all ride together(ish) again soon. I ordered a new bike in lieu of buying the floor model and I pick it up on Thursday. Thanks to all of you that gave me advice! 😘

*first bump*
that bike should work just fine for what you need it for – congrats!!!
Exactly!! Well done. And fancy disc brakes. Verrry nize.
Thanks!
Allan said – good choice!
Whew, good!
Thanks!
Nice looking bike! Congratulations! That’s about what I spent on my bike and I’ve been very pleased with it. There was a marked difference from bikes at the lower price levels. And I think I’m good not know just how sweet the bikes beyond mine are. I’ll hold what I’ve got. 🙂
Thanks Lurker! It’ll be much nicer and easier to ride than my old MTB but I’ll still use the MTB on the Southside Trail and I want to go try the new trails at Southside Park. And I’m going to try and forget the nice road bikes I rode… the memories will fade away soon I hope… 🙂
I was thinking – how far is your house from the start of the hash tomorrow?
(Brownwood Park, south end at Ormewood) – that’s really close – isn’t it?
maybe I can park by your house?
It’s about three blocks away. I walk to all of the Moonlite hashes that start at Brownwood Park.
I’ll text you tomorrow about it – figured it might be easier than driving around trying to find street parking………
Stacy – want me to pick you up?
Oh thanks Barb! I’ll probably be in the area much earlier than you though. I’m “laying” the shooting start trail that starts at the end of the hash — as in, I have it plotted out anyway — so am meeting up with some of shot sponsors to show them their locations. (Trail is an added bonus to the hash for whoever wants to do it; it’ll be announced at the On-In) My friend Jay will be in town staying with me so we’ll just share an Uber over. 🙂
Sounds good.
I was just texting with “Just Benne†(from Cheddarhead) and he will be at Orange Dress. He says it’s his 5th trail, but not all from the same kennel…
I always confuse him with Manny (“Doucheberryâ€) because I met them roughly at the same time and have yet to see them at the same time.
Good morning from Miami. A fairly gentle flight and cab ride. Trying to get my ducks in a row for the switch install tomorrow.
Last nights late work went well. Easy on my part- walk around and verify the wireless is active, and be prepared to do whatever is needed.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Man Fell Off Edge of Grand Canyon: Third Visitor Death in Eight Days. Suddenly my unhealthy fear of heights looks healthy.
not sure on this 1, but I know at least 1 of the others was selfie related.
Future band starters of the world: I give to you the band name “Unhealthy Selfieâ€.
You’re welcome. ðŸ˜

Cloudland Canyon camping (wheelhopper, but anyone can come) Sept 20-22.
I just booked site 39, John & Kat are on 41. Others have sites booked, but that’s too much for me to keep up with
I wish. That’s the weekend before Lake Hartwell campout and I’m sure I won’t be able to get away with doing both. I do want to go to Clouldland Canyon sometime though…
I may book a a site, seeing how I don’t think I’ll be taking a “big†this year I may take a lot of little ones instead.
