103 miles on the Silver Comet/Chief Ladiga Trail from Smyrna, GA to Anniston, AL. Staying in a hotel tonight and will ride back to the van tomorrow.
Headwinds the last 50 miles, ugh. Vehicles did an incredible job of stopping at road crossings to let me pass. Unfortunately a van stopped for me but got rear ended by a pickup behind him that failed to stop.
I had my sandals strapped to the top of my rear bag. About 1/2 way I saw the shadow of the straps that were supposed to be holding the sandals on the bag were flapping loosely. The sandals had slipped off. So turned around and back tracked. Found one a couple miles back and the second one another half mile from there. This time I put the Velcro straps through the sandal straps.
