Atlanta

Fantastic time on the trip to the ATL.  Loved the vibe of the city during the trials and watching the race was so much fun. 

We had a spot at the Black Sheep where we were able to watch the racers go by three times.  First loop was a huge pack.  Second loop was a smaller pack.  I'll never forget the third lap - we saw the motorcycles come by, then we saw Rupp, and then it was a long time before we saw anyone else (a pack of three, followed by a charging Jake Riley).  Rupp had clearly made a decisive move.

Then we spent the rest of the weekend pub crawling.  I did run the 5k on Sunday, a super mediocre 21:30ish.

Some pics from the weekend:


Visited Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room and Ping Pong Emporium and it was awesome.



Finally got to visit the world famous Clermont Lounge.  It did not disappoint.





I'll always be a huge Ritz fan but I'm not sure he has it anymore.


My buddy SVG ran a great race.



Walmsley with a 2:15, not bad for a course that was considered slow.


Jordan shit the bed.  Still cool seeing her run by though.


Rented a scooter to go to Elmyr to drink The Grizz.  Lots of other pubs but the memory is a bit hazy.




Scofflaw Brewing on the way out of town.  Love their Basement IPA.
