Tim and I started at approx 1:15pm. Tim road with me the first 10 miles, then I went solo for the rest of the trip stopping every 10 miles to refuel at the 30.2 mile marker I had what would be dinner from the gas station and turned around to head back, the pace was faster than yesterday as I was running out of day light and wanted to get back home to celebrate Christmas eve.
The Course was the Silver Comet again since it worked out so well the day before and the trail is like 80 plus miles and stetches into Alabama. The pace was faster than the day prior, cycle computer read 10.2mph. The going was good till the last 10 miles then it started getting to be tough to freemount the unicycle which was a 36".
