The Final Fourteen
September 22 - 27th
We rode about 1205 miles on about every type of road Tennessee has to offer. Nice weather for the most part. Tuesday morning at Ripley was 41 degrees - the other extreme we saw 89 degrees in Athens. A flat tire in Memphis slowed us down a little but we managed to adjust and get back on our route. The only place we didn't visit as planned was Shiloh because of the flat, but we'll save that for another time.
