Dover to Waverly, TN...46 miles
No picture....you've all seen woods, right? We're in the Tennessee hill country and boy do they have hills. On a straight stretch of road you can see about 200 feet down the road. Of course, these Adventure Cycling Routes work hard at keeping you off busy roads so we didn't have much traffic--just the odd logging truck to keep us awake.
About a week ago, at a rest stop, Ron and I had some Red Bull sports drink. I can see the Red Bull Marketing Plan now...1. people are idiots so 2. we'll give them half as much product and 3. to make them thing it's a good product we'll charge twice the price and 4. so that they'll think it's good for them we'll make it taste like shit. These people are marketing geniuses. Ron says he actually like the stuff but he's Canadian which proves my point about the taste.
