Day_1

These are the days you live for! We didn't get on the road until about 9:30 because of the fog but we still covered about 300 miles, even with about two miles hiking at the various parks. Of course the run past Cookeville on the Interstate and the extra hour helped. I'm testing out my new windsheld on this run and so far I really like it. I may change my mind after the first rain storm but It doesn't look like that will happen on this trip -five days of optimum riding weather is in the forecast!
