All the cool cats....

Yesterday was a welcome change in the weather for Central Georgia and could not have been better for mountain biking. Low 60's to start and barely mid-80's when we left. I got 3 laps in for a good day on the bike. The lower back was tweaked the last lap and I just couldn't push as hard as I'd liked, but that is the price I'm paying for doing trail maintenance instead of riding like I need to be doing. Still, the goal is to have fun and continue building up for November training rides with the guys in Macon.

Since the 12 Hours of Dauset is Sept. 22, a few of us decided to head up and pre-ride the race course. I don't have an exact count, but all the cool cats from our area were there enjoying the perfect riding conditions:

Kat was up early and ready to roll.

Dave Sexton was spicing things up with some outstanding riding.

Surprisingly, Flipper did not show off his invisible ramp jumps, log crossings, or aerial ballet.

Mark Duffus even rolled out of bed for the early Sunday morning ride.

BK was his usual cooooool self (except for the severe pain he inflicted on me the 3rd lap).

This was me at the "end" of BK's punishment session, aka lap 3:

This was Diana before her coffee:

Thank God for coffee!!!

There were too many people at Dauset yesterday to give faces to, but Central Georgia and OMBA will be well represented this coming weekend. We should have a very large gang of some great folks with a HUGE pit area as usual. We'll be chillin' and having a grand time once again.....
