Tour De Georgie

I will be attending the TDG beginning Sunday April 20th, will be meeting my Team Captain on the UCBI cycling team in Blairsville and driving down to Tybee Island for the start, I think Star was saying that the bank wanted the team to ride in some sort of parade before the start of the race, so that should be cool.

Well I guess before I go any further I will say I have not been a very good blogger in that I haven't blogged at all and have not directed anyone to my blog, but I figured that attending the TDG should be interesting for people that won't be able to attend the entire race.

My involvement began last fall when I ran into one of the guys on the UCBI (United Community Bank Incorporated) cycling team at a cross race, I asked about the team and asked how I could join, Star later contacted me and put me on the team, mainly for CX.

Now the deal with the TDG is since UCBI is one of the sponsors they hand out a lot of promotional items, the big hands, and we ( the team) volunteered to do all that work instead of the bank having their people so this. So, the team has all expenses paid, motels, food, transportation, VIP passes, rides in VIP cars and get to stay in the same quarters as the teams.

So I figure to take a lap top with me and blog the whole week about the tour, pictures, video, just what goes on behind the scenes or whatever I get to experience. If everything goes as plans start looking for reports on the Tour starting with my departure on Sunday.
