i lived in the atlanta metro area for a while, chasing IT jobs, then north GA. much of GA is very nice, from the atlantic coast in the SE to the mountains in the north. i think if i had it all to do over again i'd look closer at brunswick. central GA is pleasant but pretty flat.

Most of my friends there are in the Grayson area.

Doubt my wife would want to move... she wants to stay close to the kids here in FL.  Just wait until they start moving all over due to work, lol.

For now we just drive over and visit the beautiful places that GA has... or I ride over for the mountain rides we do every year there.
Ride safe!

the weather has kind of sucked these last couple of days and it's expected to be like this for the next week or 10 days and now they're talking about a hurricane brewing out there in the atlantic and i'm kicking myself for not being motivated enough to go out and ride when it was nice. i did get my e-bike out yesterday, and promptly got caught out in the rain, and by the time i got home i was pretty well soaked thru. reminder to self: make hay (and miles) when the sun shines.

I rode mine to the house in Ocala.  Planning to ride the trails in the Ocala National Forest…

a chilly day for a ride around town. stanback (yes, the headache powder people) park, the pond is low. then up by the transportation museum, behind the grocery store to the abandoned cemetery.

Was out riding the Interceptor this morning in the upper 30's, low 40's. Pretty chilly till it finally got into the 50's. Need to look into some cold weather pants.

brrr!   
i'm wearing 2 layers, then my riding jacket. just got some rain pants which should help keep the wind out. this is supposed to be fun, not a marathon.
