I earlier stated the obvious, that there has been no activity on this blog. However, activities in preparation for this trip have been blazing. I wish I knew how many collective miles were ridden and dollars spent.
One of the few training rides that included several preparing for the trip was last Saturday. We did about an 80 mile loop north to Lorman, MS and had lunch at the Old Coutnry Store with Mr. D which included cornbread and his cornbread song. The picture is on the front porch (by Teva).
Our group included Teva, Angie, Laurie, Cara, Tommy S, James, Beth & I, and we picked up David, and Kenneth along the way.
It was a good ride out; Beth and I hit 40mph in Church Hill for the first time on our Trek tandem. Then we got dropped. The ride back in was a little tougher. The fried chicken was riding low in the belly and the temperature was climbing. The rule in riding is eat before you are hungry, but a footnote needs to be don't eat too much fried chicken and cornbread and greens and hot peach cobbler with ice cream and sweet tea. You see the problem.
Tomorrow morning we head out. Time to get some sleep.
