British Blokes, Fried Chicken, and Karoke

It was quite a weekend for us! Friday Sean ran into 3 British boys cycling from New York to Miami. They stopped at the shop for a few repairs and were staying over in the Boro due to Fay's rain. We invited them over for dinner and had a great time learning about their adventures. They had a hardy appetite and I know it was hospitality they enjoyed after camping for weeks on end and riding. Saturday teammates Jim and Chris came down for the Nestor Cup road race. They sweep the race, as usual and had a good time preparing for the SC State Road race, in which the team plans to defend their title, and the Atlanta Pro 100K taking place over Labor Day weekend. I was able to race in the B's, but felt the heat and humidity drain my legs and energy. I was able to cut off the course and feed the guys during their race. The little gas station in the town of Rocky Ford where the race was held had some fabulous smelling fried chicken for brunch and a karaoke machine. I think we'll be heading there on our next Saturday night out. We'll leave the spandex at home though and put on the boots! A great weekend in the Boro! Off to Clemson/GVL next weekend for the US Pro races, the P3 Challenge, and great times with friends.
