So you think you can ride a dirt bike?

Me too, until I went to The Battle of Atlanta and watched the pros show their talents at the event in Social Circle, GA.

January 3, 2010 was a nice 17 degrees for the start of the eight hour endurance dirt bike race. Civil War re-enacters shot muskets to begin each class.
