CGC rides Cycling Ahead Century

You've got to support the local events folks! This was the first year of the Cycling Ahead Metric Century put on by Bruce Radcliffe in an effort to raise money and awareness for the National Brain Tumor Foundation. Bruce's sister Michelle and brother Tony were both diagnosed having brain tumors in the last few years, and both are doing better after having surgery and treatments. However, Tony nor Michelle have been able to return to work.

Central Georgia Cyclist club members showed up in force to support Bruce and his efforts Sept. 30 at the Ocmulgee National Monument. Bruce and everyone that helped him did an outstanding job organizing this event, and had great SAG stops and SAG vehicles taking care of us along the way. In all, there were 13 riders from our local group (nearly 1/3 or the total riders) and enjoyed the beautiful weather and good roads the ride covered. Most of us rode the 26 mile loop while others went on the 62 mile option.

We even took a minor detour to check out the Griswoldville Battlefield. Don and I have passed this same site during our legendary ride with Chad earlier in the year.

CGC malt beverage and snack night at Thomson

A few of us gather at Thomson Trail every Wednesday evening to ride, socialize, partake of malt and barley beverages, and sometimes we go eat after the ride. We will be continuing to ride at Thomson throughout the winter months, and it will be at night so bring your lights!

This was a special evening since it may be one of the last times Don and Angie Bill gather with us.


I think Go-Fast-Pops found his new cyclo-cross bike for the Ohio series, and I wouldn't doubt that he will be extremely fast on this single speed as well!!


Riley Slosek was in attendance, and I still haven't figured out what I did to get this look.
"YOU TALKIN' TO ME?!!"
