Preparing for the Athens

This past week was rest, then a long weekend of riding. Sunday we rode from campus to the foothills parkway and did hill intervals. Wasn't too shabby. We had lots of exciting adventures including crazy trucks trying to run us off to roads. Then on the way back we decided to combat some dogs that always try to attack us. We stopped and picked our weapons. Mark picked up a beer bottle and a stick and decided on gravel and a stick. When we went down the hill they ran like usual, unfortunately neither of us had practice with sticks and 20mph so we stopped and the dogs ran away. These dogs are habitual about chasing cyclist and have even caused others to wreck! It will eventually lead to something serious: police, more wrecks, dead dogs, who knows.
This next weekend I'll be attending Athens and Roswell for some serious crits 3/4 style, I'm super excited, hopefully it will go well.
