Blackshear, GA to Glennville, GA - 64 miles

Sunny and hot - bike computer temperature was 102 degrees (sun beating down on it and on me).

Today's stats: hot out there - low 90s; max speed 22.8; average 12.8; 62.5 total mileage; 4 hours and 52 minutes riding time.

The usual breakfast at the hotel - oatmeal. Made a peanut butter sandwich for lunch and was off. 

For the first 10 miles we rode on a 4 lane highway. The shoulder was rumble strips.  Then onto a 2 lane state road. We finished riding on a busy 2 lane highway.

This is the nice 2 lane road 


First SAG stop at about mile 15.  Valerie and Fran

Second SAG stop mile 32 - it was starting to get hot out

Jude and Mary - my riding buddies today

Our hotel The Cheerio Inn - I'm in a nasty smoking room - stinks. Fabreezed it!


Donna and I walked to the Rite Aid and stopped at Mac Donald's on the back - I had a fish sandwich - Yikes, I was hungry
