It does look good on the map doesn't it? I'll try to drive it this weekend and get actual distances.

I hate you guys !!!

Every year I'm stuck at the plant doing year end physical inventory and all the while I know you're out there in close proximity to me running some of the best roads in GA.

Have fun and be safe.

Indeed, perfect weather and looked like the roads were deserted. Thanks for the scouting of the route.

Looking at those pictures makes me want to go there TODAY!.

I am still 50/50. It is my birthday and the rumor is there may be something planned for me. So as of right now I want to...but am still a maybe.

I would like to start a "Spring Run" as well. NYE is great...but with some warmer pavement the spring is a great time to run.

I'm 50/50 as well. Possible I'll have to work that morning but if not, I'll be there. Hoping things don't go off the rails at work and I can ride the rails in N GA.
