Happy fourth! Today was spent getting my life together and trying to consolidate gear. I went through the bike and hit every nut, bolt and screw I could find. It feels tight and secure. I gave the girl a bath and some much needed TLC on the chain. 
The trip tomorrow starts from Highlands and puts me near east of Tellico Plains, TN. The original route I was supposed to take has a road closure that would push me back half a day. My dad informed me of the closure and we decided it would be more timely to start near Tellico Plains. It’s not a big detour, considering we’ve ridden it before, but will definitely save me some time. I’m very excited and hope tomorrow has as good of an ending as the past previous days.
