No Man's Ride - Day 9

Day Nine - Sevierville, TN to Athens, GA

The final leg of the journey was a perfect end to a perfect trip. In the morning the MAD MAPS crew joined forces with the AMA team from Ohio. Team AMA took an earlier start in order to get their 250cc bikes up and over the Smoky Mountains, while team MAD MAPS thought to enjoy the free Rice-Krispy breakfast for a bit longer. The MAD MAPS crew left as the air began to warm a bit, though knowing full well, that at the pass it would still be chilly. Layered up and ready to roll, the MAD MAPS crew hit the road and didn’t look back. A slow go cursing in and around the tight turns leading up to Newfound Gap.

We found the AMA folks hanging out in Cherokee, shopping for rubber tomahawks. With the group reunited, we made off on our final approach to Athens GA.
