Day 11: Tuscaloosa, MS to Atlanta, GA

It is Sunday and we awoke to a clear and pleasant day it was excellent riding weather to continue the work detour to Atlanta for G. However, pre- ride inspections showed G's steed needed some oil. We replotted our course to the Harley dealer in Pelham, Alabama with the hopes of making it to Atlanta in time to see the Eagles game on TV at 1 p.m.

We rode with all due haste the 50 miles to the dealership and arrived as they opened at 10 a.m.  T added a shirt to his cavernous collection, G is holding out for when we land in Myrtle Beach.

Of course we looked at bikes and chatted with other bikers (BS T). It took longer than planned and we set out again    realizing our time was even shorter than we thought since we would have another time change- we lost an hour!

We got into Georgia, lost our hour and were finally back onto our original time zone. Priority changed then to finding a sports bar to watch the first half of the game because we were at least an hour from the hotel. I wonder why none of the Atlanta sports bars seemed to have the Eagles game on?

We decided to go directly to the hotel and catch what we could. While we were stopped, G looked at his odometer and saw that it read 11111.1 total miles life to date on the bike. It was a weird sight!

We boogied to the hotel and got there at half time. The hotel was pretty empty so the sports bar was willing to change the station to the Eagles game. We almost wished that they hadn't. An unfitting reward after a long fast ride. But it was a win nonetheless.

A quick workout, planning for the next day, a couple adult beverages and early to bed for tomorrow was a work day. On the new time zone!
