Conway, SC to Shallotte, NC - 51 Miles

Cold start to the ride - 59 degrees and cloudy - if I had been at home in Florida I would have waited for it to warm up. But I  cowboyed up and rode!

Today's ride:  21 max MPH, Average 12.3 MPH, 49.8 total miles, 4 hours riding time.

The total distance was supposed to be 51, we were moved ahead 4 miles and we goofed and made a 2+ mile error.

Breakfast around the chuck wagon - steel cut oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, granola and coffee.

Then it was time to make peanut butter sandwich and pack snacks for the day.

At around mile 13 - detour, bridge was out - we all were sagged 4 miles - bikes on top of the van or on bike racks.

It took 2 trips to get all of us shuttled past the detour

The first group was heading out 

Fran waiting for the van to return for us 

Ellen and Denice loading the second group of bikes

Then unloading the bikes 

Putting our rack bags back on the bikes and getting ready to ride again

Another state - Lorna, me, Valerie, Fran and Suzanne 

And goodbye to South Carolina

Margaritas tonight - crossed another state line

Dinner - polenta lasagna, salad and fruit

Short day tomorrow only 38 miles
