More about Georgia

Left Thursday from St.Louis for warmer weather. Jay and I had planned to go to Athens for the Winter Bike League ride. we were tired of driving so we decided to stop in Acworth. The hotel was a trip. The guy who took care of getting us checked in was in training. I could tell he had no idea what he was doing and the guy giving him instructions just kept saying to us. Training he is in training. Then the trainie would flash a smaile. The dude had some teeth.

Friday we rode 58miles real easy. we were tring to get to Red Top Mountain state Park. we rode on some busy roades because the directions we had were not so good. However we got there and then had to get back. The tempertaure was starting to drop. I opted not to wear booties and was paying the price. After missing some more turns we did get back to the car. We made it back to the truck.
The ride started in a wealthy community. There were some big homes. I had the feeling it was were the Falcon and Braves players live. Everyone was very friendly. We had lots of waves. There was only one jack off who nearly rolled his jeep as he passed us. That was the only incident we had all weekend. Oh I forgot it was 40 when we finished. It was 15 in st.louis.

Saturday was the best day I have ever had on a bike. We rode from Ellijay. I wish I had a camera because man it is nice down there. The view from our hotel was as Borat says, very nice. Plus it was over 40 out. It was 9 in st.louis. Hilly route not much traffic. It was a good ride. I might do it when I go for the tour of Georgia.
