Saturday, the 18th of April (Paul Revere's ride today 234 years ago). 430 miles to go. I am at the Walterboro, SC library. Gorgeous building with about 12 computers for guests. Now I know why Adventure Cycling showed libraries on their maps!!!
100.41 miles after doodling around in the Ramada parking lot. A real century on flat land with mostly a following breeze through quiet farm land, swamps, and tiny towns of rural SC. One hitch yesterday---my road crossed I-26 but had been damaged and way closed. Took the detour for 2 miles, then got info the bridge was only closed to cars. Retraced my steps and crossed the bridge on which a truck had hit the rail and burned. Mess was cleaned up but the bridge remained closed.
Short day today then some 70 milers. Getting close!!

Very impressive Dad. A full 100 miles is quite a journey so well done. Drink lots of water in that heat. Down here we have flirted with the 90s a couple times so get ready.

WOWEE!!!
ReplyDeleteWOWEE is right! Can't think of a better description.
ReplyDeleteI guess all that March madness paid off. Not only did you make it to the final four, you won the whole darn thing - well almost anyway. But heck, with only 430 miles to go and at your current pace that's only 5-6 days max. Is it time to slow down and smell the roses? Or maybe a side trip to Alabama? Travel restrictions to Cuba are being relaxed so if you run out of land at Key West maybe there's a new option...
I gotta go. Time for a bike ride. If I don't get some miles in I'll never be able to keep up with you when you get back.
Happy Trails! Al
Sounds like sweet Georgia peaches should be close by if you're not there already...Getting exciting...can't wait to see you. Love Brother Jack
