Okay, here is my slightly longer ride report.
Thursday
The origin plan was for me to head to Jenks and pick up Crashnburn when I got off work at 3. As usual work ran late and all hope up making it to Talimena State Park before dark went out the window so we took our time and got there at about 8:30 in the evening. I fired up a lantern that had not been used in over 30 years and we managed to set up the tent and get inside minutes before the rain and lightning storm hit. Once it passed and we realized that we would probably live to see another day we heard tx246 and Mike pull in. We pretended to be asleep. After a while I really did fall a sleep and apparently snored a lullaby the rest of the night.
Friday
This was the part of the trip that I was really excited about. Approximately 5 years ago Jeff and I met JMD, tx246, Tony and several others for a ride that we have laughed about ever since. Everything went wrong and we rode about 12 miles, half of them on the pavement just trying to get back to camp. We have tried numerous times since then and I have never been able to make it until now. We were going to make it to Muse (38miles away) this time even if we had to carry our bikes.
As we woke up, geared up and had breakfast we got a call from JMD and Tom that they were running late so we relaxed and waited for their arrival.
