We then thought, you know, it's only 6 more miles to the halfway point and if we make the halfway point, there's no reason to turn around and go 15 miles back to Clarksville when we were only 15 miles from Dover. Particular when the last 10 miles to Dover is down-hill! So we take a picture as our first milestone and off we go!
We did well for our first attempt; making it over 17 miles! We stopped because the road shoulder suddenly disappeared, the traffic picked up and we were not sure where the shoulder would reappear again. Luckily, our support staff (Go-Team-Steve!) had keys to my truck and came to pick us up.

We loaded up the bikes and drove the rest of the way. The shoulder picks back up after a few miles and construction is on-going. I have no doubt we will easily make the rest of the route on the next nice and low traffic day!

IT.WAS.AWESOME.
Even though there was this part of me that was a little annoyed with myself that we didn't go further, I'm still darn impressed we went that far. Not bad for a first ride of the season!
We'll be ready for the Memphis-Tunica ride come September.
