US Cycling Road Race...Nationally Televised!

Hey guys,
Found this...U.S Open Cycling Championship will be Nationally televised today on NBC. Same day coverage will begin at 2:30 p.m. est-5:00 est. Sounds like they have issues early this morning however, appears wet, and snowy conditions may postpone the start. But hopefully they can get the race in and still be televised today. Pretty cool that cycling is getting some recognition on a national basis.

Had a ride planned this morning with my neighbor, however 36 degree temperatures have postponed the ride. Discovered a cool group ride yesterday, I should fit right in. Here are the details:

Fridays are the home of the Beer Ride, which meets both in front of Cycle Center on Harden Street and at Outspokin a little after 6 p.m. The groups join together in Fort Jackson for less than 20 miles at a fairly relaxed pace social ride to end the workweek. Again, this is a no-drop ride, and the group stops to wait for slower riders. Perhaps Columbia's best-known ride, you can find everyone from racers to weekend warriors and families with children in trailers. The ride terminates in Five Points at Bar Non(e) - hence the name - and has been known to feature beer during as well as after the ride.

We are off this morning for our neighborhood Easter Egg hunt and an appearance by the Easter Bunny!

Have a great Easter Weekend.

Thanks for reading, y'all tune in again soon!

Well, I can tell just by the name of the group that you will fit in perfectly. Anything that starts and ends at a bar is just perfect!
