65 participants joined together to raise just over a thousand dollars for charity
while cycling and skating a sweet day away on supersweet rolling hills of the piedmont in
north carolina. five skaters and about a dozen cyclists completed the 102-mile century,
while many opted for a scenic and moderately challenging 51-miler, and others for the 31-
and 21-mile routes. Some skaters took from just after sunrise to around sunset to reach the finish,
but great friends and family and food made it the end of a challenging, fun, sometimes
tough, mostly sweet and often easy day. 570 photos...510 from the road...
take you to the fields and barns and homes and churches and stores and memories along the way.

the grandskatey of them all among usa open road outdoor point-to-point skate events,
athens to atlanta (a2a) is what keeps some of us training all season and keeps
us alive all winter, holding on for daylight to return! this year it was a warm
day, so we knew the hills would take their toll, but we had a fabulous time with
some of our favorite folk, and toured once again with the camera in hand, trailing
well behind the legends of this epic event, happy in the pain of sweat and sun and skates.

we thought we were showing up for 30 miles but with encouragement and support
from the directors and volunteers of the tour de tammy, we made a last second
(and i mean that!) decision to continue straight on for the 61 mile route. the
roads got a bit rougher at times but no less gorgeous in the surroundings.
every rest stop had volunteers and supplies and knew we were on the way. they all
seemed to want to see us reach 61 miles as much as we did. the finish was happy and tasty
with barbecued chicken quarters and sweet tea, like life syrup from the sweet earth.
