I was anticipating some good motorcycle riding this week, so we hauled the Triumph on the trailer to Tennessee. \u00a0After we moved Nicki and her belongings into the new house, I explored the back roads around New Tazewell<\/a>. \u00a0Nicki’s street winds around the mountains and the enormous Norris Lake<\/a>, which has 809 miles of shoreline extending into 5 different counties.<\/p>\n

I managed to squeeze in 300 miles of riding this week, pausing in a few places to take pictures. \u00a0Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to stop at some of the most scenic spots, since there was no shoulder on the road. \u00a0During the week, I encountered 5 different dogs chasing my bike, one of which ran into the center of the road toward me, but the bike and my legs survived bite-free.<\/p>\n

I hope to bring the Triumph back in September when we return for the White Coat ceremony.<\/p>\n
