Great idea on the thread. Would love to do a huge BT ATL group ride at the comet or Stone Mtn one day soon. Hops and Barley for recovery at the end...

Since this is an Atlanta thread - check out my story that aired on 11alive last week - Wes Sarginson came out to the house to interview and film my fundraising and training leading up to IMFL: http://www.11alive.com/video/player.aspx?aid=56273&bw=. A wild experience.
