Mike & Tod - Day 28

More hard riding, the days are getting long.

But they've had the wind at their backs, so have been making great time.

More history.

These people down here take their heritage seriously.

[Hey, wake up there, Mike.]

And they take scrapping their junk seriously.

This looks like something out of Mad Max and the Thunderdome.

And when in action, as the boys saw, and those are big, nasty, noisy machines...

The boys did find time for an office break at this quaint restaurant, The Blue Top. Not sure if they sat out on the patio or not, just behind Mike there.

At their next break, they almost decided to retire and stay here.

32 ounce cans of beer - $1.49!

I'll repeat that. 32 ounce cans of beer for $1.49!

Of course, you only get one for that $1.49.

But that was all they really needed, as you need two hands to heft them. So no riding til it was done.

So that put them behind schedule by, I'm guessing, three or four minutes.

Hey, what are they doing down here?

Them's Canadian trains.

Well, they made it to Dyersburg, Tennessee.

But having made Memphis, their original goal, time for some serious thoughts about what's in store next.

Stay tuned.....

Now, where's one of them 32 ounce beers....?

Nothing like American beerwater when you're doing a lot of hard riding. A great way for Canadians to stay hydrated.
