The rumour of another layoff was weighing heavily on me. When I got to Shady Point, I decided not to ride, changed my mind, then changed it again. Pulled my bike out of the trunk, put it back in, drove a few miles back towards Morganton, turned around... Anyway I got a late start, but glad I got a start. If I get laid off and cant afford the gas to drive to the trail head, I'll regret not riding when I had a chance. And so I rode...
