Today's Mileage: 313
Total Mileage: 2026
Wow, I have traveled over 2,000 miles on this trip.
Today was back to Shunpiking. I was only on the interstate until Tuscaloosa, Al then, on to the highway. It was a nice scenic ride, nothing spectacular. I waited in an Exxon parking lot for Eric. He decided that he wanted to take some off-roads before we met up. He might have fallen off his bike twice and had to pick up 900 lbs bike by himself in the middle of a really hot, sunny day. He made it to our meeting location, slightly haggard and tired. Like the cowboy he is, he complained about it, drank a bottle of water, and headed back out on the dirt roads with me.
This is a picture from my bike on one of the many 'roads' we took.
It is not so much falling off these bikes, because when you are taking these types of roads it will happen at some point, that is tiresome. It is picking up these large bikes with gear on them that can wear a person out.
We camped at Wall Doxey. We were fortunate enough to have a couple of R/V campers bring over some hamburgers they had just made. I do not pass up free food. Later that night, I was worried that they might have drugged me and would re-enact scenes from Deliverance. That movie has scarred me for life. I'm writing this, so nothing bad has happened- that I know of. . .
Until I ramble on again . . .
