Tour de Georgia

Enjoyed watching Stage 2 of the Tour de Georgia leave only a few miles from our house. The bad boys of Rock Racing were in full force! George was at the back of the peleton hanging out before the race. All our local, non cycling friends wanted to know why Sean wasn't racing. Of course, he just said he had been sick and a teammate filled in for him. Maybe next year!

Asheville

We spent a short weekend in Asheville for a conference a few weekends ago. Had a great time at the Grove Park Inn, watching a turkey walk around the hotel, and riding in the local group ride with Josh and Deb.

Spring Break

We spent our Spring break (or I should say mine, Sean is always on Spring break) in Clemson. We had a great time putting in hours of base training, visiting friends, and doing a little work at the farm. The next week my folks came to visit and we spent a day in Savannah. The spring is beautiful in the South!

Greenville Spring Series

The official start of the racing season is over. After three weekends and over 1,000 miles of driving Sean and I are fitter, stronger, and more tired than we started! Sean placed well in the Masters races (2nd, 3rd, and 3rd in the overall) while his team finished strong in the Pro 1,2 races. I was able to get enough top places to ensure my upgrade to a category 3 racer, which of course only means longer races, additional miles, and more pain. Nevertheless, we had a great time seeing so many of our friends. Clemson will always be home.
