Pick Your Poison
As previously stated, the SVR will yield to two great events: 1) The Safe Harbor Ride in Iva, SC and 2) The Middle Tyger Tri. I hope you have registered for one of the events. The Safe Harbor ride is the fastest metric around…. With plenty of riders to take their turn at the front…. The group will pull you along so you can set a PR.
The Middle Tyger Tri is part of the Upstate YMCA tri series… it’s 400 meters in the pool, 14 miles on the bike followed by a 4 mile run… As Mr. Gurrie asked, What's up with all the fours??? I guess we'll find out early Saturday morning!!! I plan to be up at 0430, have coffee and a bagel, on the road by 0500, arrive at 0600 to participate in event at 0700!!! We have a few others from the area who'll join Mr. Gurrie, Me and Bro...
Wanna sell a bike? Here’s someone who’s interested in the following… On the next SVR and lake swim announcement emails, could you please ask if anyone is selling a road bike? Or maybe you already know someone who is? A colleague of mine is looking for a 52 or 53cm that's been well maintained. He is pretty open to brand and components. Post a reply to the blog and I'll have him call you... or you call him?? (email addresses aren't posted for EVERYONE to see)
Of note, last weekend, I broke a cardinal rule… during our stop in P-ton, Gizz talked everyone into riding Simms Mill Rd… I usually stick to the tried and true…but, I must confess, Simms Mill added a new dimension to the ride…. I think we’ll go back next time!!! And we were able to add a few more miles going BACK to Mac’s for the second time… that allowed us to get in 52 miles!!! sa-weet!!! (actually, that’s a reference to the home made cookies Mac’s sells for some carbo reloading!!!)

Props to Ryno... at the last minute, he looked at me and said he wanted to make me KoM!!! I followed his wheel for as long as I could... we caught the group "asleep at the switch".... but, Griz took the victory!!! I'll work harder and smarter next time!!!
Props to Mr. Taylor... who finished 8th (as I recall) in the 24 hour MT Bike Race in Georgia... no kidding, as I recall from a race report... he rode ~170 miles in 22 hours... and had 2 hours of "downtime"... AND he raced SOLO, and SELF-SUPPORTED... and props to Mr. Breu... who competed in another single track Mt Bike Race, in the rain as I recall???
Props to Florida Bill for the art work...and if things workout on 5-31-08... He's gonna change his name to Carolina Bill!!! No kidding... BEST OF LUCK!!!
So, whatever you do, ride, tri or enjoy the family... be safe and see you on the road next week!!!
