Wednesday on the Road

After a luxurious day of slow living, laundry, naps, and no riding, the crew gassed up early on July 4 and hit the road. We left Newport KOA and headed toward the Davey Crockett SP, but we were rocking so fast that we'd hit Greenville (home of Andrew Johnson, a nice town, but not much of a President) long before lunch, making Davey Crockett not much of a ride. So we headed on toward Johnson City, but the campground there (and by "there" I mean a many mile detour, and miles are precious by bike) didn't answer the phone. Our road now, 11E, was our friend, so we got a good deal at the 11E Inn on the south end of Johnson City, and we called it a day. Our longest yet, 60 miles, and we were proud.
