Pre-Ride Countdown – Day 4 – Logistical Upheaval Subsides

More Missives from the Mule
After yesterday’s unexpected scramble, the boys have really come together like a finely woven fabric. We are now all taking separate vehicles and driving solo for the nearly 865 miles from Tallahassee to Mount Vernon. Bubba gets partial carpooling credit for the last 300 miles by hitching a ride from the Mule in Raleigh. I hope I made those reservations for Sunday night since everyone keeps asking for the street address for the hotel in Mount Vernon. Will the fearless five actually arrive remains the looming question.
Last minute preparations and checklist packing are nearly completed or about to start, however sloth spousal units keep adding to the must-do-before-you-leave list. A man, even a manly man, can only do so much before he says, “I’ll make it up to you when I get back.”
With the trip becoming closer to reality, excitement is building. Like most years, our biggest challenge will be getting to the start line.
