Wow, a nice boring uneventful ride. Except for breakfast not being complimentary @ Courtyard by Marriott on University Drive near WFU, and having to wait for over 30 minutes for the shuttle to pick us up & take us back from the hotel to the campsite and then a 20+ minute ride, even though we had been the last stop. So by the time I got the bike ready, it was quarter till 9AM. But short rest stops moved me up from the tail end of nearly a 1000 riders. In Mebane, the hotel was only about 2 miles from the campsite, although a little dicey on the 1 highway. Great weather, very few coarse roads, manageable shorter hills, good ride, no bike issues (except still no cadence or power, need to stop at a CVS or someplace for a tiny screwdriver for the battery covers), good shower, good dinner, good Phillies game (so far) and shortly a good sleep.
