Yesterday, I convinced 67 kids to drop out of Elementary school. I told them there was a team called Jelly Belly and the riders got lots of free candy…..

Actually, we had a lot of fun yesterday talking with the kids about cycling and helmet safety. The best part was when I opened the talk to questions. This tiny pre-kindergarten girl in the front row quickly raises her hand.

“Um, yes, and what’s your question”, I said.

She replys, “My mommy has a baby in her tummy.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

On a very different note, I couldn’t help but laugh at the intense smell of beer on the steep part of Brasstown Bald. Hopefully I was dehydrated enough to get a bit of a buzz from it. You know, numb up the legs and stuff….. But, those guys were the best “pushers” of the entire hill. It was at that point I strung together 5 solid pushes to clear that section with minimal effort. Which is a good thing because the grade is about 20%. Eureka! If there was a Most Pushes On Brasstown Bald Leaders Jersey, I feel that I put out a solid effort to obtain it. Being on the hometown team and not allowing myself to say “no”, I had a fun time going up Brasstown with the aid of an estimated 30-40 pushes. Good times.

So, to the drunken man enjoying himself on Brasstown Bald………..I salute you.
