Statesboro, GA to Point South, SC - 71 Miles

Another warm day on the bike. The day began with cloud cover but the sun came out.  The rain came down after we all arrived at our hotel.

I'm no longer in the 'EFM' society, that's the ride 'every fricking  mile'.  I rode to mile 45, took the SAG ride from mile 45 to mile 60, and rode from mile 60 to mile 71.  I wanted to go easy on my butt sore - a good decision - and it is better! Awesome decision.

I rode for 4 hours and 20 minutes; max speed 24; cruising along at a comfortable 12.9 average and rode 56.6 miles. 🚴

I've ridden 662 miles so far and have 900 to go. 🚴

Breakfast - another good decision - oatmeal in the slow cooler on the left


Oatmeal and coffee

The road we were on in Georgia, across the state line the road narrowed and was very bumpy.
