If the trip up Ft. Mountain was straight up, then todays ride has been striaght up and down (thank God for the down!).

Drew’s comment (The One, not The Other One) was: “I was drafting off a caterpillar!” He has had a fairly interesting day including a bee sting and a dog bite (just a nibble… must be an acquired taste because he didn’t take much).

By far the most challenging day, according to the elevation maps – which is under high debate among the riders – DAY FOUR has given us breathtaking views and lots of sunshine. We’ve had a couple of blow outs today (no one was hurt) and even began the day without the tracker up and running (sorry about that – we did remedy that as soon as we found out!).

Currently, we are resting in Clayton and are about ten miles out from Tallulah Falls and Athens Y-camp, where we will rest for the night with the rest of the boys and the staff from the youth home.

Patty, Kevin and Quinton have done a great job keeping us going in the right direction, and Sam keeps truckin’ away hauling the gigantic “Paul Anderson Cycling Challenge” trailer, which, by the way has been turning quite a few heads! (So, if your watching online and happen to see our trailer, give us a honk!!!)

We’ll have more videos and pics up tonight.
