Alrighty y'all, I actually have a free Thursday night so let's go for a ride!
A new twist on the Thursday night formula: First, let's do a good 8-10 miles at a nice chillaxin' pace just to enjoy the weather and take in the sights, maybe cruise up the corkscrew to get some view and some stars. (no drops, no lane splits, average 10 mph.) Then those who are interested, myself included, can crank down a few more miles at a brisker, training-oriented pace. (average 15-17 mph, if I can maintain that, no lane splits, regroups if we get separated by lights or hills.)

Howdy folks, The Extraordinary Contraptions are playing as part of Nophest's 4&20 festival. Check out www.nophest.com for details on all the other bands jammin' out that weekend as well as info on ticket presales.

I can't ride on the streets yet so you should join me in my living room to ride. There is room for ~6 people on trainers probably. So far this one will be Me and X-topher, and we will start riding at 6:15pm sharp. 45 minutes on, 5 minute break, and another 45 minutes on. This should be 28-33 "miles" depending on how fast you're spinning.
So bring yer trainer over, DO NOT BE LATE, and if 6 people are signed up already, better luck next time!
Afterwards there can be tater tots.

If you are interested in catching the FM MTB Race Team in action, this may be your best chance. Ft. Yargo is a large, beautiful state park complete with a big lake. It is about a 1 hour drive from ATL in Winder (on the way to Athens). This race is the third of 8 races in the GSC series, which the FM Race team plans to race all of. It is our 6th XC race so far this year.
Spectators will enjoy several opportunities to see the racing action as well as plenty of time to enjoy the park.
If you are interested in riding in the race, check out goneriding.com to register and send me a note about carpooling.
Don't forget to wear red to show your support!

This Sunday I'll be training at the track. I know it's early, but I want to be sure I can get back, take a shower, eat lunch, and have a beer in time to watch the Tour de Georgia stage. I'll be taking MARTA down there, so if anyone else is and would like to meet up, mention it in the discussion thread and we can meet up and ride together.
[edit by ck. changed name to make sense]
:::EDIT:::
After looking at the weather for tomorrow, I may not go on account of rain. I don't think there'll be enough time for the rain to dry up in the morning, plus it looks like it'll probably keep raining throughout the morning.

*UPDATE 2* The lights haven't and won't be fixed so Brian and Pete insist that we restrict practice to daylight hours. individual warmup at 6 (or earlier if you like) and group training from 6:15 until there's not enough light to ride safely. Sorry, no loaner bikes. BYO bike. Contact me to carpool. Possible refreshments to follow. *UPDATE 2*

I know it's really late notice (I didn't even plan on doing it until about 5 minutes ago), but I'm thinking about going down to the track and do some training this evening before Battlestar Galactica comes on (10pm, SciFi). I didn't bring any of my stuff with me, so I have to run home and do some parts switching before going down there, but I should be there by 6:30. If anyone is interested, please sign up or post on the discussion thread (preferably both).
EDIT: It doesn't look like anyone's interested, but if you change your mind give me a call. I'm getting off work a little early today so I'll be down there closer to 5.
Start: 11:59 pm

Lets get together and clean up the track in preparation for the Festival of Speed! This is a great chance to get chummy with the DLV Elders, plus you will earn 5 race points (to help beginners get cat'd up to Wednesday night racing!). From the website:
We're looking to have one more clean-up day before the FoS. If you have the time we could use your help for a few hours in the morning. So put your painter, yard and/or concrete grinder clothes on and head on down....unless it's raining.

We've put in hundreds of hours over 4 months to bring you Apocalypse Briggs. We feel the only suitable way to honor and celebrate this huge effort is to have a premiere party. The Pickup Artist premiere was great: laughs, drinks, three-way kisses. Apocalypse Briggs premiere: #1.
What to expect: We're premiering our 30-minute movie for Apocalypse Briggs. Check out the TRAILER. We'll also be showing two other shorts we made just for this premiere ... just to warm you up. Yum.
