Cycling and Racing

The Tour de Georgia began today in Augusta and is at this moment heading to Macon. Many top European and domestic pros are in attendance. I have been fortunate enough to know and have ridden with several of these athletes, so I am very interested and keeping up with the racing action live at CyclingNews.com.

Doug has the rest of the week off and is planning to follow the pro cycling action around Georgia, starting with going to Macon for this afternoon's finish of the first stage. But before he left for the race we cycled around the 28-mile Old Thompson Mill Loop hitting speeds of 45 mph and maintaining a prettly solid average speed for this hilly loop.
