Cycling in and around Union County, NC

Sorry for the lack of updates here. It has been a hectic few weeks. Promotion at work, means more responsibilities and learning new tools, good in some respects. Being put in charge of a team also means longer hours and more accountability. End of the quarter also means account reviews and in this economic climate those are even more important than ever.
What a beautiful day for a ride. Especially a ride up Morrow Mountain. Would love to ride, but we did the next best thing, volunteer to help. This ride as well as the last two we sat at very strategic places along the route and took pictures. All in all just over 700 images. We will be posting 166 in the gallery here sometime tomorrow. We managed to post 19 new images to Facebook this evening. I hope everyone had a great time while out on the ride. Special thanks go to Jeff for helping put this together for everyone to enjoy.
Well the weekend is over, Nicole and I managed to ride with the Bee Team. Well not the entire ride, just 15 miles of it on Sunday afternoon. Neck was sore but did not really hurt. A couple of ibuprofen and an ice pack and everything was better.
Wife and I went to see the crafts at the Matthews Alive festival today. Walked around a good bit. Took a few pictures.
I finally have a chance to play around a bit with my new toy the VholdR ContourHD helmet cam. The ContourHD is one of the first HD video adventure cams. It is able to record HD resolution video on a Micro-SD card. The video is 720p at 30 frames per second and the image quality and clarity is simply outstanding on a camera this small. Obviously I cannot wear it as a helmet cam just yet but I do have the bike mount and a few other mounting options. This allows me to mate the camera to various surfaces and still use it without adding any extra pressure as my neck muscles are still healing.

Annette, Nicole and I made the trip down to Greenville again today to see the RR Championship. It was a great day watching some of the best US cyclists compete for the National RR title. We ran into Terry and his daughter Sarah while Nicole and I were wandering around downtown Greenville. We took lots of pictures, this time we did get pictures of the Podium Girls.
Nicole and I made the trip down to Greenville today to see the TT Championship. It was a great day watching some of the best US cyclists compete for the National TT title. It seemed that Floyd Landis got the biggest cheers from the crowd at the start even though last years winner David Zabriskie was there to defend his title.
We took lots of pictures, but unfortunately we did not get any pictures of the Podium Girls.
Many thanks to Jeff Viscount and the volunteers who put together another great Morrow Mountain ride. The weather cooperated with fog in the morning that helped to keep temperatures cool. By the time the fog had completely cleared the temperatures got a bit warmer but never too hot to ride.
