Join us for the 2009 Tour to Tanglewood starting from Volvo Trucks North America in Greensboro, NC and arriving at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, NC on Saturday. Spend the morning riding or skating with about 1700 cyclists (and a small but awesome contingent of skaters), the enjoy the afternoon at Tanglewood having lunch, dinner, beverages and good times getting to know other people who ride for people who can't.
We had a super time at the Bicycle Toy & Hobby Sales Tour to Tanglewood training ride inline skate. This year there was an improved long route of 43 miles. There was some additional gatorback to do on roads familiar from previous Tours, but after this, the rest of the day was on supersweet asphalt, with some challenging uphills and fun and safe downhills too. When we got back to the shop there was so much food we really didn't need to have lunch (though later on we went to Sir Pizza for small versions of their awesome pies).

After an awesome Saturday morning roadskating the improved course for the 43-mile route of the Bicycle Toy & Hobby Tour to Tanglewood Training Ride in High Point, sleeping late Sunday was nice. But we knew the Carolina Cup Bicycle Races were going on at Greensboro Country Park, so we got going and made it up in time for the last three big events. I also had a phone call related to the NC Active Transportation Alliance (http://ncactive.org), so for a while I was on the phone and photographing at the same time. Yowee.
