Tag: Bicycle Tours of Atlanta
If I hadn’t paused to take this photo . . .
So yesterday in the sudden quiet after the international bike tour guests left and we had closed up shop, I took this photo of Attica in the old cotton-holding facility where Bicycle Tours of Atlanta is located and then rode her back to catch the MARTA train to come home.
