One last run of the mountains before the weather turns too cold and roads are muddled with leaves.  The plan is to ride out of Winston Salem to pick up the Pirate Rider Ben and eventually end up in Franklin, NC Microtel which is the site of TMAC.  Prices as of last night are $45 for single queen, $50 for double queen for Monday and Tuesday night, which are far below anywhere else in the area and made the choice a no-brainer.  Returning home Wednesday, so ride dates are 10-24 through 10-26-16.
