Nonsense: Nate! Nate! Nate!

The Georgia Cup Series Augusta road race was held on August 18th and 19th in downtown Augusta and on the hills of Fort Gordon. My friend Paul and I attended the criterium on a muggy Saturday night with a few friends from AJBW to support Nate Zukas and other local riders participating in the criterium. Nate tried his luck in the 60 lap PRO criterium, but was only able to hang on for 35 laps before dropping out of the intense "NASCAR on bicycles" race.

Still, we had a slap on the back and a cold beer waiting for him on the sidelines.
