I just heard a bird chirp today, which means, I hope, that Spring is just right there – almost, soon. The weather this weekend is supposed to be really nice, somewhere over 55 degrees, so a heat wave. This very good, as the Beltline organization is having a Signing the BeltLine, Art Painting Party.
The bold text means it’s official. As advertised through facebook, they welcome the artistic talents of everyone – even if you’re the only one who thinks you have talent. Tall order for this year, some 216 1′X4′ pieces to be painted, so your hands, and brushes, and paint are very much in need.
Go get yourself some
Also, as is fitting in Atlanta, I found news of a skatepark that is set to open through ESPN.com (actually, that’s a cheap shot, there’s reputable website for all things BMX-Atlanta, run by someone who actually rides – novel idea); away, it’s coming sometime in late spring – I think May. When I say Atlanta, that’s downtown Atlanta – not “Atlanta-Metro area i.e. Duncan Creek.” Called the 40 yard, it’s to house some foam here and there for those interested in flairs, or whatever is running the trend these days; hopefully pedaling and trails will catch on, again.
With the weather in Atlanta come Spring, and the current lot of public skateparks already in the ground outside the city, plus the soon-to-be poured park at/or around the foundation-location, riding inside is going to be a tough sell. The park calls itself bike-friendly, so who knows. I wish whoever is running the park all the luck. It’s certainly in a good location, so that should help.
Nice weather, go ride your bike
