INTENDED route - 267 miles from Hoover, AL to Dahlonega, GA, ACTUAL route - 200 miles from Hoover, AL stopping early in Woostock, GA
I delayed my start on Day 1 choosing to leave at midnight instead of 8pm the night before to wait out the main part of a weather system covering nearly the entire central part of the country bringing rain from the Gulf of Mexico and snow in Wisconsin, Chicago, and Michigan.

I left in a light drizzle that was stopping, but very wet roads from the rain that had just come through. The roads had even started to dry a bit by the time I made it past Leeds about 30 miles into a 267 mile ride from Birmingham, Alabama to Dahlonega, Georgia. Unfortunately, I caught up with the back end of the system and ended up riding along with it for 200 miles before stopping in a gas station, drinking coffee, shivering, and on hold with customer service to cancel my hotel reservation. Thankfully, they did, and I was able to rebook in North Atlanta (Woodstock).
