Ben and Jack arrived in Asheville on Thursday and went to dinner in town. Ben ran into one of his beer brewing buddies who had just won Best of Show at a Beer fest in Charlotte, NC. He was on cloud nine! They had also crossed paths when Ben was judging at a show in Asheville a month or so ago, just before he started his bicycle ride.
Ben called me early this morning to talk about the final plans for picking them up in the Smokies, at the terminus of the Blue Ridge Parkway. However, he said that Jack had decided to ride back to Meadows of Dan on the Parkway, going North. I am sorry that I won't get to see him on Saturday, but a man has got to do what he wants to do!! ...so I will pick up Ben on Saturday, and Jack will ride North starting today. The weather continues to cooperate very well this week and perhaps they will see no rain at all. Best wishes to you both for a successful finish to the ride.
