Hello to everyone in Monroe who has sent me a comment. I love hearing from you. I've been gone 2 1/2 weeks now, and I'm missing all of you.
I am SO glad today was short. I made it fine. There were a lot of hills, but I managed to get up and over them. It was a bit cooler than yesterday, and that helped. The group I am riding with stops every ten miles for a "butt" break, and the SAG stops are every twenty miles.
Tennessee has been our worse state for dogs. One of ladies was bitten yesterday. She is one of the slower riders, and has been riding alone. I would have been scared to death, but she seemed ok last night at dinner. The sheriff went out an located the dog. It has had it's shots, so all is ok with that. She was back on her bike today. All of my group is carring Halt, or another form of pepper spray, but so far all we've needed are our whistles. I'll be glad to leave these Tennessee dogs behind. Tomorrow we cross into Kentucky.
I told you all a while back that we have our own traveling Chef with us. She cooks in the back of the trailer, and we have group breakfast and dinners in the parking lot. I know, it doesn't sound good, but the food has been wonderful, and the parking lot dinners work fine. Patti (the Chef) sets up a buffet, and we put the white plastic chairs in a big circle and just enjoy the end of day conversation while we eat. After dinner our tour guide goes over the cue sheets for the next day. We are all off to our rooms shortly after dinner. Most of you know how early Mike Hartt likes to go to bed. Well, I'm beginning to pick up that habit, too. Boy, we are going to be a lot of fun now--BOTH of us going to bed at 8:30!!
