In Memoriam to Maureen (Mo) Blyler-September 7, 2002 and David Martin-November 4, 2002 Welcome to Southeastern Cycling! No matter what anyone says, the riding around Atlanta is great--if you do not mind the traffic. Where else are you only 3 hours away from Tsali and Pisgah? An hour away from the mountains? 15 minutes away from sweet SORBA built singletrack? Get to choose from at least 2-3 group rides any day during the week during Daylight Savings Time?
