12-31-2015 Happy New Year!!! Go ride your bike! The answer to everyone’s question is–no, I don’t have any of the road schedules for the Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, or Alabama right now. (I take that back….GBRA has the tentative schedule posted. I’ll get it up in a day or two.) Typically they come out in mid to late January.

Tundra TT The 13th Annual Lillie Glass Tundra Time Trial will be held on Saturday February 13th, 2016. We have several great changes new for this year.

While Serenbe Farms provides a great location to stage the race, it also provides for a great family day of activities after the race. This year, we have also added the Merckx category for the 2016 Tundra TT. For more information visit www.SurgeSports.com.

12-30-2015 My 2015 Thank Yous Thank you so much to everyone that has supported me in 2015! Southeastern Cycling and I could not have made it this far without you!
For myself:
-Smyrna Bicycles Thanks to Tom and Brown for keeping my bikes in top shape, for putting up with my occasional nuttiness & understanding it, and for some last minute “I’m racing tomorrow and my bike won’t….” issues.
-Sorella Cycling My teammates are amazing! I’m truly lucky to have been a part of the team for so long. My Sorella Sisters keep me going, heckle me at cross races, and are so much fun to be with!
Southeastern Cycling:
-Atlanta Cycling Thank you for being a huge supporter of Southeastern Cycling and Sorella! I love doing the rides from the shop and seeing new people come out and start their cycling journey. Atlanta Cycling carries Trek and has a full service shop (Ask for Ryan in Vinings for one of the best mechanics around!).
-Outback Bicycles Pete and crew rock! Thank you for supporting Southeastern Cycling and for the donations to my annual Cyclocross Clinic goodie bags! See them in Little 5 Points!
-KenBikeLaw Thanks to Ken Rosskopf for being a long time supporter of Southeastern Cycling and for some advice this year! Ken’s son Joey is Atlanta’s own World Tour Rider with Team BMC.
-Van Michael Salon Cycling Ladies love their Van Michael Salon! I’ve been a client for almost 10 years now and would not trade my stylist in Sandy Springs for anyone else! VMS gives a lot back to the cycling community. Thank you Van and Michael!
–Free Flite Bicycles Thanks to Dan and Brian for helping me find a sweet Kuat hitch rack this summer! Free Flite has 3 locations. If you need a bike fit, see Michele; he’s amazing and has fit a ton of my friends! He’s been doing bike fits longer than almost anyone else in the area!
–Cycle Therapy If you are north of Atlanta or in the Rome area, these guys can’t be beat for customer service! They host quite a few clinics throughout the year to keep locals up to date on the latest bicycling technology.
-Parks Law Have a need for an attorney and want one that understands cyclists? Clay Parks represents clients in most civil and criminal matters. Clay also races for the Litespeed-BMW team.
-Bike Rides Thank you to all pf the bike rides and races that have advertised with Southeastern Cycling this year! I’m glad to help get the word out about your events! Want to advertise with Southeastern Cycling? Monthly rates are very reasonable and lower than most other local options. There is a discount for ads of 3 or more months.

Dear Rock Hill, I started riding when I lived in your city. WHY did you not have anything this amazing back then? Really, I’m very happy in the ATL and am not moving back, but I have to admit that I’m a bit jealous. Signed-Sadlebred.
12-15-2015 CXNats Volunteers From the Volunteer Coordinator: We are still looking for volunteers for the upcoming USA Cycling National Cyclocross Championships. Races are Jan 5-10, 2016 on the Biltmore Estate, in Asheville. Click on the VolunteerSpot link, and sign up to help–especially if you already plan on coming out to participate or spectate. Click here for the VolunteerSport website to sign up. We also need experienced construction, landscaping, & engineering volunteers to help build the course, primarily the large fly-over. Interested people can email me directly at micah@ashevillesports.org or call me at 828.380.9287. And, yes, it will be a good time. Course build days are December 28-January 4. Shifts are 9-12:30 & 12:30-4. Those shifts are not public on VolunteerSpot, so please contact me to sign up.
It’s essential that we cover the course marshal positions, as that translates to athlete and spectator safety. Other jobs include registration, expo support, bike drop off security, and course fluffers (yes, that’s right). We expect a total of 10,000 visitors over the the course of the event–I want to make the experience for all of those people as fun and positive as possible. Biltmore requires that every visitor purchase a wristband at a discounted rate for entry onto the Estate during the event. For more information about this, please call the Biltmore ticket office. Please direct all questions about ticketing to them–I do not represent the Biltmore and cannot offer much help. If you have questions about securing an expo spot, or are looking to reserve a team parking space, please contact Ben VanCamp at ben@ashevillesports.org or check out our site HERE. Thanks so much for helping to spread the word. I look forward to seeing many of you out there on the course, cheering one another on, and, hopefully, with me helping to make this event a blast!
WNC SORBA News From SORBA: After a great deal of work and bargaining, we are pleased to let you know that IMBA–SORBA and our Western North Carolina Chapters have signed an MOU with conservation groups and other recreation stakeholders to urge the USFS to create two National Recreation Areas (NRAs) in the Pisgah district of the Nantahala-Pisgah National Forest. These areas are now managed as Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs), and prohibit mountain bikes. The NRA designation would allow mountain bicycling, while still offering protections that would ensure the backcountry experiences we seek. The NRA designation would take 254,664 acres out of Wilderness. In this MOU we both preserve, and potentially, expand mountain biking opportunities, while forging alliances with conservation groups to protect sensitive landscapes.”
