We got on the road much later than expected. Charlene hauled Brett and I to Chattanooga where we unloaded and set out North in search of the Trans America Trail. We made a pass through River Canyon Road along the banks of the Tennessee River (A must do ride.) Next we went through Pikeville, TN where most of my family is from. I was amazed at the money spent to revamp the downtown area, and it's still empty.
We picked up the Trans America Trail just south of Crossville, TN. We ran chip seal roads, dirt, gravel and even a reclaimed railroad bed.
The URAL did great, for what it is. All in all it is much slower over the whole day than I thought it was going to be.
Brett was a GREAT co-pilot/navigator. We got into a routine about 1/2 way through the day and worked well together.
In an attempt to stick to our schedule we pushed a little further than planned and made it Manchester, TN.
