FM24

Everett and I were lucky enough to volunteer at the Faster Mustache 24 hour urban assault.




Here is a cool video trailer about the race.

Lots of good friends there and Eliot Street Pub was an excellent host!






Faster Mustache is a great group of cyclists in Atlanta and they put on the most fun events, ever.




The scenery was spectacular. There was a heavily tatooed man wearing blue underoos.

A decked out wrestler and a platypus.








Richie was dressed to the nines in a half shirt and speedo.

Then there was the clapping speedo man, as seen in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQBXoC3_xpY




Can't wait for the Santa's Little Messenger race!

Mulberry Gap Weekend

Shey finished riding the TransGA route this weekend. We headed to Mulberry Gap and the boys and I rode around there for the day, then I drove to pick Shey up at the AL border.

Actually, his phone was rained on, so it didn't work well.....that made our 6pm meeting time more like '9:30pm trying to find Shey in the dark' time. He said the last stretch of Pinhoti trail by the border was awesome.

Rob and Shey decided to ride it together, but Rob had a couple flats and decided the stars were not aligned for him to ride that day. So Shey headed on alone, while Rob rode back to MG.


******************************************************************************

Yeah, so we've had Indy for something like 4 years and he still gets so excited when he rides in the car that he whines the ENTIRE RIDE!! It's this horrible high pitched, really annoying, never ending whining.

Jansen has come up with his own Indy-protection. He has earplugs in with earmuffs over them. Notice Indy whining right over Jansen's head.




Camping at Mulberry Gap.

Getting ready for our ride. It rained that morning, so all the other campers stayed at MG and we had the trails to ourselves. Nice!



Serena chillin' out in the tent with the boys.



The ladies at Mulberry Gap has an awesome breakfast waiting for us the next morning. Yum!


Hiking with the dogs.

Everett's Birthday

Everett wanted to play paintball for his birthday, this year, so we headed to a field in Winder. Everett's friend Aaron came to play and they had a blast.


It started raining pretty hard when we got there, but the storm blew over for a bit and the guys hit the field.

Adam was an old pro, as he has two brothers that he has shot at for years.


I ordered pizza for everyone and they ate in-between games.

The adults really didn't want to get hit....Adam had some pretty scary looking paintball wounds.

Tired from ganging up on the teenagers.

Chocolate chip mint cake from Southern Sweets....the best bakery in Atlanta. Birthdays mean you get to have cake for breakfast for a WEEK!!
