Tour of the Southern Highlands Press Release: Woodstock, Georgia (November 28, 2016) – Tour of the Southern Highlands Stage Race, the only Pro/Am stage race in the Southeast since the Tour de Georgia, announces new host cities for 2017!
Over the past five years, former professional cyclist, Nathan O’Neill and his partner, Betty Hodges, have grown the Tour of the Southern Highlands into a major stage race on the cycling calendar for the Southeast. The multi-day, Pro/Am race outgrew its previous 5-year location in 2016, and as the last wheel crossed the finish line in March 2016 the search was on. It took nearly 7 months to locate the ideal partnerships and locations to move forward and continue to grow. Woodstock & Ball Ground, GA expressed an interest in the partnership, capitalizing on existing road rider terrain, as well as the potential for event growth and regional economic impact for years to come. “We have an active built-in cycling community in Woodstock and surrounding areas, and bringing a National cycling race to our community is a natural fit for locals and visitors,” stated Jeff Moon, Woodstock City Manager. “The City of Ball Ground is known for superior road cycling by many advocates and we look forward to being part of this exciting event in 2017 along with Woodstock and Cherokee County,” added Eric Wilmarth, Ball Ground City Manager.
The event begins on Friday, March 3, 2017 with an exciting Professional Criterium for both Men & Women, in downtown Woodstock. Frequently described as “NASCAR on bicycles,” the criterium will feature vendors, live music, kid’s bicycle races, a fat tire criterium and more! Saturday, March 4, 2017, the amateurs join the action alongside the pros for a Merckx Time Trial and a Circuit Race. Then, an epic road race, with over 1600 feet of climbing for each 16 mile lap, around the Ball Ground Community concludes the racing on Sunday, March 5. The three-day event is already attracting attention from many top race teams and has been circled on the U.S. Junior National Team calendar as a “Selection Race”. “We are excited to have new partners in Woodstock & Ball Ground, to continue to build a legendary stage race in Georgia, offering challenging courses and amazing fields, while continuing our tradition of promoting growth in racing, especially junior’s and women’s racing. These two cities are active and progressive cities, and they absolutely exhibit the qualities we know are important to the growth and accessibility of cycling,” said race director, Nathan

11-23-2016 Thanksgiving Rides I normally don’t post many one off rides, but I’ve had a few people ask about Thanksgiving day road rides. Here are two I know of: Brookhaven Thankful Ride: What are you thankful for? The 19th annual Thankful Ride happens again this year on—guess what?—Thanksgiving Day morning! What better time to gather with fellow bike riders, enjoy quiet residential roads of Brookhaven and Chamblee, and work up an appetite for that turkey/tofurkey dinner? The ride is 26 miles (http://ridewithgps.com/routes/6510377) and leaves at 9 AM from the parking lot of the Brookhaven MARTA Station (Apple Valley side). The route is painted on the road so you can ride at your own pace. This year we’ve also pre-marked a 13 mile route for those looking for something shorter (
http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11227682 ). Also The Airport Ride will be meeting at the usual place & time for a hammerfest.
11-22-2016 Slow Week It’s a slow week. I think everyone is eating turkey. The only two events I know of going on are Turkey Cross and Stuffed Cross in the Chattanooga area. Georgia Cross takes a week off before preparing for the State Championships at Elks on December 4.

2017 Calendar The very, very preliminary 2017 Race Calendar is up. Most of the dates I have so far are for mountain bike and gravel races. The labels are pretty clear as to what is a 2017 date (hint, look for the asterisk * or the word 2017). Road racing calendars typically don’t start coming out until late January or even late Feb. I get them up as soon as I have them. Of course, don’t even think about 2017 CX calendars until next summer; let’s get through this CX season first!
Foot Revolution Review Foot Revolution is a new sock subscription service aimed at cyclists and triathletes. Every month they send out a different pair of socks. One month the focus is more on fun with bright colors; the other month the socks are more performance oriented with calmer colors. Subscriptions are available in 1, 3, and 12 month blocks. You can skip a month or change sizes if you plan to gift them to a friend. Currently Foot Revolution partners with certain brands such as Base Cartel to bring a variety of socks to its subscribers.
The Foot Revolution packaging reveals this month’s socks.
I received the Foot Revolution package just a few days after it was sent. The socks were Base Cartel with cute hearts and stripes on them. I thought they might be more appropriate for Valentine’s Day than fall, but they are cute. I was told by Foot Revolution that the hearts are the Base Cartel logo. FR also sent out another color for November, which was a black and neon color scheme. The socks felt nice and soft right out of the package. I usually wear Defeet Aireators, and these socks reminded me of them although a little thicker. I wore them a couple of times. Unfortunately, even the size small was too big for my tiny feet, which caused slippage in my Sidi shoes. They were comfortable otherwise. They held up well through a few washings in cold water and tumble dry on low.
If you like different socks and enjoy a surprise each month, Foot Revolution would make a fun subscription for you. Who doesn’t like to receive packages with a surprise? (I love subscription boxes and have tried a few over the last couple of years when the budget has allowed.)
Foot Revolution provided a one month subscription to Southeastern Cycling to review the service at no cost. Check them out on Instagram!

10-25-2016 James C. Parks, Jr. Attorneys At Law I am so excited to welcome back Attorney Clay Parks as a Southeastern Cycling advertiser! James C. Parks, Jr. Attorneys at Law is a full service Decatur, Georgia based litigation firm. The principle, Clay Parks, has been riding bicycles since the age of five and racing bicycles of some type since 1989. During college at the University of Georgia, he was the team captain and a 6-time southeastern collegiate cycling conference champion. He has won multiple Elite and Masters level Georgia State Championships. Clay is married to 2000 Olympian and former professional cyclist Iona Wynter-Parks. They have a son named Ethan, who just turned three and is already riding a little bit. Clay has practiced law for more than 15 years, representing clients in a variety of contexts, in multiple jurisdictions both in the United States and abroad. Immediately following law school, he spent two years working for the Fulton County Office of the Public Defender, where he represented indigent criminal defendants for a variety of crimes. As a member of the public defender’s office he represented clients not only at the trial level, but also on appeal before the Georgia State Supreme Court. After leaving the Public Defender’s Office, Clay litigated civil matters at one of the largest pure litigation law firms in the southeast. As a senior litigation associate, he defended firm clients in both civil and criminal matters.
After he left the Atlanta-based firm and spent a brief amount of time in Seattle, Washington, representing hospitals and physicians, he took a position with Island Jamaica Limited in Kingston, Jamaica as the Director of Legal Affairs. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Chris Blackwell, who is best known for discovery the musical talents of Bob Marley and U2, founded Island Jamaica as a global tourism entity based in his native Jamaica. During his time with Island, he advised the company related to the development of GoldenEye Villas & Spa on the grounds of James Bond writer Ian Fleming’s Jamaican estate. In this capacity, he was responsible for reviewing contracts and insurance matters for the in-country hotels and the New York based marketing entity that represents all of the Island Outpost properties worldwide. Since returning from Jamaica in 2011, the firm founded by Clay has focused on representing parties on both sides of personal injury matters involving automobile and cyclist collisions in everything from cases involving relatively minor injuries to wrongful death claims. He has also represented major industry manufacturers in many aspects of their business within the cycling industry. Clay has also represented numerous professional teams and riders in everything from sponsor contract and prize money disputes to USADA / WADA issues. When it comes to cycling and the law, he has probably seen just about every possible legal dispute. This press release is for informational purposes only, and should not be construed as legal advice. No recipients of this content should act or refrain from acting on the basis of any content included in this handout without seeking the appropriate legal or other professional advice on the particular facts and circumstances at issue from an attorney.
10-22-2016 Dirty Sheets Info From Pete Edmonson: “The time will be changing soon and many of you will be looking to the gravel roads to fill you cycling time. This is the Dirty Sheets Loop Route as it leaves from the park. There has been an important update to the route!!!!! The South Fulton Parkway crossing has moved slightly. No longer go around the black gate, the crossing is in front of gate now. This location is better for cyclist and the local land owner. Volunteers have spent many hours cleaning out the culverts on Upper Wooten Road in the past month. Hopefully the road will not hold water this winter. We will be fixing wet spots as soon as we can find them after the next rain. Remember the land past the park gate on Upper Wooten Road is private, Stay on the road!”
