1-8-2013 Rider Hit Louis "Bud" Phillips was struck by a truck while riding on Sunday afternoon. He was traveling west on Cumming Highway near the on ramp to I-575. Bud is a long time cycling enthusiast and customer of Free Flite Bicycles in Marietta. He is in a coma with severe head and chest trauma as well as other injuries. His prognosis is very guarded. There are no details of the accident. His girlfriend asked a friend of theirs in the cycling community to pass along a request that everyone carry some sort of ID on them because Bud did not have any identification on him. The hospital did not know who he was and had him listed as a "John Doe."

I HIGHLY recommend that everyone get a ROAD ID or similar ID to wear. I never leave home on my bike or walk without mine. Even if you have a phone, it doesn't say who you are. An ID bracelet or card will quickly let first responders know your name and contact information.

Alpha Bikes Tool School Alpha Bikes will be hosting Park Took School starting January 15th. Jan 15th is Drivetrain, Jan. 17 is Brakes I, Jan. 22 is Brakes II, Jan. 24 is Wheels and Hubs, Jan. 31 is Suspension Fork Service. Classes are $50 each. See the website for full details.

1-14-2013 Silver Comet Trailhead Break-ins I have a report from a friend that his car was broken into at the Mavell Road trailhead in Smyrna on Sunday morning. He said that there were car break-ins at several trailheads within a few hours that morning. The crooks used the card at a gas station and a Target. Always hide your valuables or take them with you! Better yet, don't bring them and leave them in your car. Be safe!

1-15-2012  Officials Training Interested in becoming a USA Cycling official in Georgia? Contact GBRA for more information about a possible upcoming class.

Cyclist Hit Bud Phillips, the cyclist that was hit near 575 the other week, passed away from his injuries today. A memorial ride is being planned. I will post details when I have them.

Another Cyclist Gone Skip Floodquist, a long time rider on the Saturday Sky Loop ride, passed away this weekend from natural causes while riding on the Silver Comet doing what he loved. I shared many conversations with Skip as we got dropped from the group over the years. I also remember one 28 or 29 degree ride a couple of winters ago with there were only 3 of us crazy enough to show up. We cut it short, but we had a fun ride. You will be missed, Skip!

Boone Roubaix  Boone-Roubaix: Spring Classic Bicycle Race & Gran Fondo April 20
4th Annual "Hell of the High Country" Challenges Cyclists with Unpaved Roads
Early Registration Discounts and Prize Drawing

The Hell of the High Country returns Saturday, April 20 for the fourth year! Cyclists from across the U.S. will descend upon the North Carolina High Country to test themselves on a unique route featuring unpaved roads, stunning mountain vistas, and unmatched hospitality. Thanks to the generous support of Performance Bike this year will feature both the age-based Race competition as well as a Gran Fondo for riders who want to enjoy the breathtaking scenery at a casual pace. Registration is only $35 until January 27, and includes a chance to win a $275 Selle San Marco saddle. Boone-Roubaix will again benefit Wine To Water, a Boone-based 501(c)3 non-profit aid organization focused on providing clean drinking water to needy people around the world.

Boone-Roubaix is a unique opportunity for recreational cyclists and weekend warriors to participate in a Spring Classic. At races like the the "Hell of the North" Paris-Roubaix, professional racers face endless miles of cobble stone pavé in the midst of the brutal northern European spring. The Hell of the High Country has gained renown in the Southeast and beyond as a rare chance to test your mettle in a similar challenge. Boone-Roubaix consists of a 50 mile route along the New River and through the Blue Ridge Mountains. On the course cyclists have to cover 10 miles of unpaved roads, and surmount a series of challenging climbs. The most notorious section, dubbed "the Koppenberg of the High Country" after the infamous hill in the Tour of Flanders, consists of a pair of quarter mile climbs with 20% grades on a mile stretch of dirt road.

The North Carolina High Country is a magnet for cyclists of all stripes thanks to its unmatched beauty, quiet country roads, and extensive trails. With the addition of the Gran Fondo to the extremely popular race, Boone-Roubaix will offer recreational riders a chance to enjoy our incredible roads and warm southern hospitality. Gran Fondo participants will benefit from well stocked rest stops and full support along the route from the Performance Bike Spin Doctors, Hammer Nutrition, and Perform Pain Relief, as well as the free post-race party hosted by Blowing Rock Ale.

Total participation is capped at 250 for the Race, and 100 for the Gran Fondo, so cyclists are encouraged to register soon at www.bikereg.com/Net/18048  to guarantee a spot. Cyclists can register for the Race or Gran Fondo on BikeReg.com for only $35 through January 27. As an added incentive, everyone who registers by the 27th will be entered into a drawing for a $275 Selle San Marco Aspide Carbon FX Saddle provided by Performance Bike. On January 28, registration rates increase to $40, but everyone who signs up by February 28 will be entered to a second drawing for a set of Look Keo Max 2 Carbon Limited Edition Pedals also from Performance Bike. On April 1, registration increases to $50 and goes up to $60 on race day, so cyclists who register early can save - and win - big. No racing licenses are required for any category.

1-18-2013 MTB Trails Closed  Most of the Atlanta area mountain bike trails are closed including Ft. Yargo, Rope Mill, Blanket's Creek, Allatoona, Mt. Tabor, and Big Creek because of the rain this week. Many will be closed through the weekend. Please check the trail status before venturing out! It's a good weekend for Rome Winter CX! *Update* Word on the street is that Chicopee and Blanket's Creek will be open on Sunday. Ft. Yargo and Big Creek are already open. Ft. Yargo is supposedly "good" considering all the rain but with the usual mud holes. The Silver Comet Super Side Trail is in good shape. SORBA Paulding said that most of Mt. Tabor is good except the meadow, which is still really gross.
