Alex, we missed you on the ride, but you had more important things to deal with. We will catch you on the next one.

On that last stretch before the AL-GA groups split, where the road had lots of those big grooves, I got pegged several times by that small gravel. I think I got one in the bottom of the radiator cover that rattled some when I got home.

Nice ride though. We got pretty lucky and didn't get much cager traffic on the good mountain roads. I don't think anyone scrapped a peg but there were a few close ones.

Ha ha. In the Bama pic, I look like I'm peeved to have my pic with the Bama group!

Oh, and the "which color is faster" argument has been settled.

Blurple is faster.

And Clint- we tried to get Cracker Barrel to send our lunch bill to you since it was a "business" lunch but they wouldn't do it. Maybe next time.

that was a fun time, had to wait till this morning to get online, had 280 miles on the bike from yesterday, with a combined total of 398 miles for the weekend, needless to say I took a shower then went to bed. Can't wait to see some of those georgia roads!
Thanks for posting up the pics!!!

I ended at 429.5mi when I got home. I'll have a 7 day stretch ending tomorrow with over 1000mi Forgot to grab the memory card out of my camera, so I'll have to put up the few pics I have tomorrow.

Alex, sorry you couldn't make it, I hope the family is doing well.
