Smoky Mountain Shakedown


Last weekend I had meeting in Gatlinburg and came back through the Smokey Mountains National Park. The scene above is from Cade's Cove. I tried the case liners and practiced on the gentle twisties in the park. My Dad lives nearby and I spent a couple nights and Fathers Day with him. The surprising thing is that although I only rode 2-4 hours per day, my shoulders were sore when I arrived home. In two weeks it will be 8-10 hours per day. I asked CZookie to recommend some exercises/stretches to get ready. I hope there is enough time to prepare. She also suggested some massage techniques. Tomorrow I will make an appointment to have my bike serviced and add auxiliary lights.

We are counting down now.
