Riders,Listen up, I just checked the weather dot com site and guess what... THEY are calling for the rain to end at the wee early morning hours on Saturday... (NOTE: I've never understood who "they" are, but in the case-speaking about the weather, it's them and not me).. So, with that in mind, meet us at New Springs Community Church parking lot for the group ride. We depart at 8:59AM and the temperature is suppose to be quite nice for riding... that's if we get real sunshine and not the liquid kind... Last weekend, we missed YOU.. so, don't let us down this weekend... the question is... will the Knights of the Roundtable have to climb out of the swamp to meet us??? or will his merry group of riders head for the hills in search of "stickybuns" and all those EVIL kinds of carbs????

NOTE: I'll go on record for declaring a few short cuts.. bro will hang a left at Scotts Bridge Rd and take the Dalrymple Express to Mac's... and then, Sir Reggie will lead an expeditionary force up Lebanon Rd to downtown Pendleton, I'll join THAT group for the Pendleton to Tree Farm Rd route (which cuts out the Pinewood Rollers.. YAHOO!!!!) and we'll all meet again at Timms Mill & 5 Forks.... note to those taking the short cut, you'll will wait a few minutes at Mac's and in P-ton... so, be ye advised.... don't catch a chill and don't "cool" down....

So, there's something for everyone... the un-altered route is about 44 miles, give or take... the short-cuts trim about 6-8 miles off the total... and makes for a great ride per bro...

One other note... there's a new sheriff in town... Land H. from the YMCA has put together an Anderson Y(MCA) Tri-Club... AND the Anderson Y is hosting a triathlon on 4-6-08... here's the website http://andersonytriclub.googlepages.com/

so, book mark that web-site... and take a look at the Tri 101 clinic he's hosting... everything you wanted to know about "tri-ing" but didn't know to ask.... I know this list goes to many folks, so think about supporting your "hometown" event.. join the club, sign up for the clinic and graduate to "THE RACE" of the year

and here's another link http://upstateytri.com/events.aspx
that shows "WE" are the first in the series...
(okay, so he's not a sheriff per se.... but, it sounded good)

Here' hoping for good weather on Saturday....

Is that not one of the coolest cranks you ever seen???
