Macon to Rome

233.0 Miles. Mistimed our arrival in Fayetteville and missed the start. We were one block away and could actually hear the announcer countdown from 5 to send the riders on their way. That meant we got stuck in the ensuing traffic jam. That made us almost miss our next peek at the riders outside of Carrollton. We had to pull off the side of the road and powerwalk about a 1/2 mile back to catch the peleton. We did have plenty of time to catch the finish in Rome.
