Athens to Clayton
Relaxing just a bit
The ride from Athens to Clayton is only about 75 miles, or put
another way about 3/4 of a tank of gas on Tonya's bike or not quite an hour's
worth of riding when we get on the open road. Also we knew the hotel
wouldn't be able to check us in until after noon. Because of this, we
weren't in a big rush to get to Clayton, and Athens was so nice we
decided to breakfast there.

We booked a room at
Kingwood Resort, a
nice
golf / spa / hotel / condominium type resort in Clayton, GA. We had a
great room with a terrific view of the golf course and the hills out our back
porch. Tonya and I decided to spend Tuesday just relaxing in the hotel
room.
Late
that
afternoon we went out for a two-up ride on the BMW just in the local area.
Here is a shot from a scenic overlook just a few minutes outside of Clayton.
North Georgia is just beautiful.
Clayton is a fairly simple little town, mostly just a downtown
area of a couple
of
blocks and a newer 'strip mall' down the main highway. There were very few
restaurants in Clayton, so we ate at the local Mexican restaurant.
That pretty much wraps up the first day. We took time to relax, enjoy the spa and other facilities at the resort, and just generally enjoyed not working or having to answer phones, emails, or pages.
