hi to all!

in the wake of a2a i'd like to ask any who will to join roadskater.net's
http://rsn2.com website to capture your a2a story for history. put up a link to
your photos!

to get right to it, you can add it here after signing up. there's an approval
process and i'm sorry about that but we don't want spambots now do we? here's
the link to the journals for 2006:

we've been working on "the roadskater.net athens to atlanta a2a roadskate book"
this summer, but it's slow going with just a few of us...
http://roadskater.net/index.php?q=the-roadskater-net-athens-to-atlanta-a2a-roads\
kate-book

the book has several main chapters to which you may add content, for getting to
and around atlanta and athens; for your memories of various years of a2a; for
how to survive touring or racing a2a; and for some basic tips on training and
other year-long preparation for a2a:

PLEASE UNDERSTAND this is totally unofficial and I apologize if anyone is
offended, and this is just a labor of love to get a2a discussions out of the
private email groups (which are great but you have to know about them first) and
onto the screens of the lonely, worried, doubtful, obsessive, feeling strange
because i love skating on the roads so much, internet searching masses.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT PLEASE COME MAKE IT BETTER!

i know there are tons of boards and wikis and communities and blah blah this
blah blah that and this is just one. but it is one that is not about arguing or
rudeness but about sharing and collaborating and focuses on a2a, t2t (the tour
to tanglewood), skating and cycling for charity all year, and more odd stuff
that you might find interesting and even educational.

YOU ARE BOUND TO BE AN EXPERT ON SOMETHING FASCINATING. come share it, avoiding
the really controversial stuff we hear too much about already.

a2a is part of usa history and while we still live to remember we should capture
what we can for the future. what we do touches on civil liberties and on quirky
americana that seeks to fight the changing of the suburban landscape in a small
way by preserving a ritual, a tradition binding a few hundred people from around
the world to celebrate and rejuvenate those souls that have gone before. be one.
join us!
