winder GA to atlanta – 30/50 miles
day 14:
couldn’t sleep all night because red and judy’s tent was right next to ours and someone was snoring super loud. got a few hours of rest, had a doughnut for breakfast that doug gave me. bayla and i were sweeping so we had to wait till everyone left before we could go. allison got a flat before we even left the campsite and we started about an hour later than everyone else. allison and crystal rode with balya and i. i pulled for 25 miles and then we stopped at a lame consignment shop. started riding a few minutes later and as we were coming to the top of a hill, we looked over and the sky was completely black. we got on the ‘highway’ and the headwind was unbelievable. we got to the waffle house on the route which marked the little over halfway point. judy was sitting in the parking lot with brianne. all of us threw our bikes in the car right before it started to torrential downpour. got lunch at waffle house and then got a ride to the hotel (holiday inn) with judy. that night we had a party at taco macs – it was not a very exciting bar but the food was good and they had a large beer selection. ben – my friend/old neighbor from ohio came to visit – and we went out with some of his friends to little 5 points and to a coffee shop called ‘octane’ where we ran into nick. and then we went to another bar called earls ( being in a car is super disorienting.. everything goes by so quickly). got back to the hotel around 12 or so and passed out.
