Day-8

July 14, 2006

Selmer Tennessee to Lula Mississippi...

Although we're now at day-nine in our 35-day journey, it feels as though we've been on the trail much, much longer. The days have been long and we're all feeling the effects of being outside our comfort-zone with long days of mental and physical challenges. On the one hand we’d all like a break to rest up bit, but on the other we’ve had such a great adventure so far everyone’s eager to see what will happen next. After breakfast we all headed outside to tweak the bikes and implement the new camera equipment that Chris and Mathew had acquired in the past few days. This took some extra time, giving the riders a late start once again.

All geared up with new camera equipment in place, the riders were off, eager to make up whatever time they could. The Trans-Am Trail section is shorter today than most of our previous days and it will also be our first state line crossing as we head into Mississippi. After the riders were on their way, Chris and Mathew stayed behind to secure sleeping arrangements in Lula Mississippi, only to find that the one hotel in Lula is a Casino Resort and was totally booked up for the night… so they said.
