There is a very loosely organized team forming for Saturday night's Alley Cat Race (Aug. 30). The race starts at 8:00 P.M. @ Centennial Park. The team is going to have a pre-race gathering at U.S. Border Cantina (29th Ave. N) at 6:00 P.M.
To participate in the race team, I recommend that you have the following functional items: bicycle, front and rear lights, helmet, and clothing (optional).
This is for fun. Please do not take race team concept too seriously :)
If you can't make the race, feel free to stop by U.S. Border Cantina for drinks, dinner, autographs, team photos, etc.
Race information is available at http://fixedgearnashville.blogspot.com/
Email me if you have any questions.

Saturday, August 9 Meet-up Ride @ Tomato Art Festival
Let me first say that I sincerely apologize if reading this blog is interrupting your training regimen.If it is not a violation of your pro contract, how about breaking out a cruiser bike (blasphemy!) or any other POS with two wheels and meeting up at the Tomato Art Festival @ 2:00pm on Saturday, August 9 ?
Meet in front of I Dream of Weenie at 2:00 P.M. Most bikers usually park their wheels across the street in front of the post office.
Hang out for a while, have conversations, consume food and beverages, listen to live music, people watch and then cruise through East Nashille/Shelby Bottoms at a leisurely pace (horrid!).This festival was a lot of fun last year. Here is a link to their website: http://www.tomatoartfest.com/
If your sponsor(s) and/or team director finds participating in this activity objectionable, then you should consider renegotiating your deal.

July 20 - No Organized Ride, etc.
This summer has been filled with some great cycling. By the time Sunday afternoon rolls around I'm ready for R & R rather than suffer the mid-afternoon heat. I plan to resume the Sunday Ride when temperatures are milder and there are not so many other cycling related events going on.
If you are looking for adventure:
There is an Alley Cat race Saturday night (July 19). Meet on the south side of Centennial Park at 8:00 P.M. I assume that is along West End Ave. (Those are all the details that I have. Sorry.)
Ride Safely !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
