Tour de Georgia

So, Augusta had about a week to recover from the Masters, and now it's the starting point for a hugeass bike tourney!

The 2005 Dodge Tour de Georgia begins on Tuesday, April 19, in historic downtown Augusta, challenging cyclists as they traverse 120 miles of rolling hills to Macon.
Can you imagine biking 120 miles in a day?

It would be cool to see the cyclists off...too bad I won't be in town. If anyone happens to go watch, please take some pictures! Lance Armstrong, who just announced his retirement, will be there, so this is one of the last chances to see him before his final race in this year's Tour de France.

(By the way..."Tour de Georgia" is an inconceivably gay name.)
