It rained all night long Monday night and we woke up Tuesday morning to more rain. The weather forecast did not look good at all. Rain all day and the temperature dropping to 40 degrees. We were supposed to leave the Gap and head into Georgia and then towards Birmingham, but I kind of thought if might be a good idea to just stay at the Gap one more day until the weather blew through. Mark would hear nothing of this and was totally in favor of heading out, so this is what we did. It turns out that this was a good idea because it was not long until the rain cleared up and we really did have a beautiful day of riding.
