Meet:  Shell station in Ardmore at 8:45

This ride will mostly be in Tennessee.  Some dirt but mostly paved roads suitable for any dual sport or adventure bike.

Was dusty on Wednesday.  Water levels are low if you want to do some crossings.   ;D

We ended up with 6 riders.

The ride ended up being more of an adventure than we planned when the only bike with Tubeless tires had a flat......and the bead came off the rim.

On top of that we didn't have the required tools to fix it.

We improvised and overcame. 

Overall it was a fun ride.

Can't thank the crew enough for getting the Beemer back on the road. Not sure if I can plan for all the issues that arise on a ride but what a great group of folks to ride with for my first time.  They CYA'd me yesterday!
Thanks to all!
