I am not doing it but my husband is. He did it last 16 years ago. We had a baby and a toddler then. They are home alone this time. Wow, how time flies!

Right now I am sitting in front of our trailer at Tom Johnson's Campground sipping water out of my pink Tervis Tumbler. We are directly across the street from the pavilion. The temp is in the low 80s, the sky is blue and there is a gentle breeze blowing. The forecast for the ride tomorrow calls for 60s and rain.

We drove up from Appling yesterday. Followed the route out of Spartanburg. This morning we took a short spin from the campground toward Mt. Mitchell. Very short, 12 miles. But it was my first official high country ride. The plan for the fall is that I will do Three Gaps while Dave does Six Gaps and this was my introduction to the mountains.

Any TEers doing the Assault on Mt. Mitchell?
I will be the lady with the cute Jack Russel and an Airstream at Tom Johnson's who is not riding.
