Preparing for the big ride...

Here I am at work on another weekend. I a few minutes I will begin another adventure. I'll join some men from Georgia to ride as much of the length of the Natchez Trace as possible in my week off. We are planning to head south to Natchez where we will begin our 444 mile ride north. They arrived at my house at 5pm today and had supper with my Wife and Mother. They then lay down to take a rest for the long drive tonight. The Tennessee forecast looks like rain tomorrow and Tuesday. Later next week, forecasts call for heat indexes of 100+ . All riding will need to be over by midday or suffer. I am able to cut down on my luggage since the trip will be fewer folks than was first conceived. Dave was riding the BRAG this past week. I'll bet he'll be a really tired fellow. Tough to do two big rides like that on successive weeks. Anyway I'm down to 22 minutes till I head out.
