Weekend Wind-Down #163

A couple of Fridays ago, Missy and I headed downtown to see the pre-race festivities at the TWILIGHT CRITERIUM, Athens, Georgia's yearly night-time bicycle race. After grabbing some freshly-squeezed lemonade, we headed over to the RED BULL HUMAN-POWERED CHARIOT RACE. Teams from local businesses and the university built their own CHARIOTS. While one person rode in the chariot, two other teammates pulled them around the track for two laps before heading back across the finish line. We perched ourselves on top of Wuxtry Records, overlooking the finish line and watched the rough and tumble hilarity ensue...
