It was another big day of climbing following a tough one yesterday. I did not feel I had the same power as yesterday. It did not help that it was raining this morning when we started out. We started about 7:15 am behind the others. It was dark because of the cloud cover and we had a lot of turns to get out of town.
We whined our way along the beautiful Tennessee roads taking in the fall colors. The towns were getting closer together and making the riding a little more cautious as cars are more numerous.
We had a scenic lunch next to the Carmichael Creek Bridge and Dam. After lunch we continued to soak in the landscape as we made out way to Townsend which is just out side the Great Smoky Mountain Park. The ride along the river to Townsend was just outstanding.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow as Big Wink, our guide, says it was his favorite ride from last years trip. Tomorrow we ride the Smoky Mountains.
