Day 31

A relatively short 78 mile ride from Union City to Dover, Tennessee. We had a very depressing start to the day as we had to wave goodbye to Dana and Britt as we left the hotel. They'll fly home from Nashville and Dana will have surgery on her elbow sometime in the next few days. We'll miss them a lot!

The trees are starting to turn here and the ride was really beautiful much of the way. I rode with the two J's most of the way, but at a fairly sane pace until the last few miles when Joseph decided to redline it and Jeff and I decided to stick with him. We crossed the Tennessee River, which was more of a lake at the point of the bridge we crossed, and entered the Land Between the Lakes National Park. Thundershowers were forecast, but they held off until we were all in the hotel.

We stayed in Dover at this rustic motel, and ordered pizza and spaghetti to eat on the deck of the cabin I was staying in. I even managed to watch Glee, which means I can have a conversation with Sara and Sydney.
