Day 14: Waverly, TN

houston, wounded duck has docked at the imperial inn in the outskirts of waverly, tn. today's sortie was merely a morning ride that took the nag into the world of the coal miner's daughter herself: the ranch/museum/rv park/gift shop of country music star loretta lynn. apparently there is a pretty big motorcross event going on so duck figured to appease the nag's motor envy by swingin in to check it out. according to the locals, this weekend is the biggest of the year and looked like a little country throwdown a kid from idaho didn't want to miss. the actual racing doesn't start until monday but was still a sight to see all the teams setting up and taking practice runs... kinda like a two-wheeled version of nascar to the tennessee gentry. considering things don't kick off for two more days, fans were still locked, stocked, and ready to rock in good numbers. So after takin in the spectacle, the duck rolled in to prep for tomorrow's hills.

Hard count: 18 miles in 1:28

Sack time. duck out.
