Tour de Georgia 2008
I hope some of you got to experience the Tour de Georgia. I got to visit the first stage that started at Tybee and ended in Savannah and see both the pre-race ceremonies and start at Tybee and then dash to Savannah in time to watch the high speed sprint finish in front of the Civic Center. I also got to meet many of the pros like former US Postal rider Frankie Andreu, CSC’s Bobby Julich, 2004 Olympic gold medalist of Rock Racing Tyler Hamilton, and Team High Road’s George Hincapie who I also got a quick video with (see below). I promise you this is one of the most exciting things you’ll see, even if you aren’t in to pro cycling, watching what the pros can do coming down a straight away after riding 100 miles and going faster than you can go when you’re not tired. There is no other pro sport where you can walk around, speak to, and actually put your arm around the athletes and say “Hey George” like you can in cycling. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO OUR CITY!
