Moncks Corner, SC to Georgetown, SC - 69 Miles

Started off with the hotel breakfast - had the Raisin Bran with a banana


Skipped the eggs and the biscuits and gravy

Ellen getting some grub

The morning frenzy at the snack table



My gorp with M&Ms and a peanut butter sandwich

Valerie and Mary making sandwiches

Shortly after we began riding the rain started.  Not a downpour but enough to need wipers for the sunglasses

Today's roads - from busy highways with little or no shoulder, packed with semis, logging trucks and speeding cars to a nice peaceful country road.

No dogs chased me today!  Yeah!

The stats: 69.3 miles (rode every inch); max speed 19; average speed 12.8; saddle time 5 hours and 24 minutes.

First SAG stop at mile 15 - wet tires


And wet roads

The next SAG stop

I'm still wearing my yellow vest - hot but I'm visible

My bike was ready to roll again 

Still at the 2nd SAG stop

Coming off the nasty bridge and into Georgetown 

Welcome to Georgetown, today's stopping town 



Pedaled through downtown on the way to our hotel, cute historic town.  I was ready to get to hotel, get cleaned up and wash today's cycling clothes.

Gin and Tonics in Suzanne and Donna's room - with Linda, Donna, snd Suzanne.

Dinner

Barbecued  chicken, white rice, black beans and sweet potatoes, fruit with cool whip, chips and green salad.


No dessert for me but there was cheese cake.

Tomorrow only 52 miles
