Spivey Gap Campground

After a long summer of preparation, I'm finally ready to kick this thing off. I got a ride from my home in Celo, NC to Spivey Gap today just to realize I left the mileage computer at home. I really didn't want go on without it so we made the 2 hour round trip to pick it up. By the time we got back to Spivey Gap it was around 3:30 PM so I was only able to put in a couple hrs. of riding before stopping at a campground for the night.

Mom, thanks for dedicating half the day to getting me started.

Less than 16 miles into my trip and my Windows CE like GPS mapping device crashed.
