Day One Road Trip to Deals Gap

Since last October I have been looking forward to this day. We are heading to North Carolina to do the Tail of the Dragon. Left the house at 6:00 and headed out to meet the Akron Sport Touring Club at Route 18. I got there at 6:40 after filling up at the last minute. 630 miles later we arrived at The IronHorse Motorcycle lodge and Resort. Someone from the club cancelled and I was able to get into a room with a King size bed instead of sleeping in my tent.  I am very tired and a little sore.  I have not been on a motorcycle for that distance before.
