Tour de Georgia in Tennessee
I'm not sure how time has flown by... I still haven't written more about the Checkpoint Zero AR, and already I have several other happenings to post about.
Today, the Tour de Georgia rolled into Chatt and the Vixens were on hand to help make sure everything happened smoothly. We were originally going to be at the finish line (and then part of the awards ceremony), but apparently a truckload of barricades never made it downtown, so we were shipped off to block roads. Yeah, it sucked not to see the finish line festivities, but knew the need was important. Once the roads were blocked, we had to be on our toes with rush hour traffic starting and cars pulling out of lots, not happy about us saying they couldn't go anywhere. We were expecting riders to come through starting at 4:05, but they didn't show up for about another 25 minutes - talk about ancy! The leader and first chase group came flying by... and few others... then it was another 20 minutes before the peloton came racing thru. And in that whirlwind, it was over. Oh, except for some of the SCV guys and other random riders trying to catch a tailwind.
Afterwards, we headed to Big River for a post-event part sponsored by Litespeed. (And I ended up hanging out there till I headed home.. missing the Suck Creek/Lynskey party, and feeling pretty guilty....sorry guys!)
