Day one on our Rally Trip we started rolling around 7:15 am from Gainesville, FL. We started north on I-75 then hit secondary roads from Valdosta to Rome. The weather was great and the traffic was almost nonexistent except for a couple of towns in the afternoon. We did not hit one drop of rain and temps were in low to mid 80s and overcast. Great riding weather.
Mid-morning we stopped for coffee in Albany, GA at a place called The Bread House and Grainary. Really nice bakery in a refurbished old home. They support a women's recovery center in Albany for women with drug problems including having them work in the bakery to help them re-enter the real world.

We decided to stay 2 nights in Rome and check out the local sights. Staying at Hawthorn Suites at Wyndham located right at the confluence of the Oostanaula and Etowah rivers forming the Coosa River.
Nice little downtown area in Rome. We ordered take out 2 blocks away. I walked down to the Oostanaula River and saw a really nice water park with kids splashing around.
Can't seem to be able to post pictures right now.
