Hot and humid again today, but not quite as hot as yesterday. And today, there were no hills! That kept my top speed down, but my average speed up. While riding, I was consistently above 17 mph, which made the miles fly by. I got a slightly earlier start this morning, taking off from Mac's around 6:30 after some good coffee. Mac sent me off with a great frozen green tea that kept me going throughout the morning.
About 5 miles into the ride, I stopped at a small country restaurant for breakfast--pancakes with cane syrup and a country sausage. Very tasty, and great fuel for the day. 5 hours later, I still wasn't hungry. Thirsty, yes, but not hungry.
After that, it was lots of miles, with frequent stops for water, popcicles, and an ice cream or two. At one stop, the owner of the shop refused to let me pay, because she was so intrigued by the crazy guy on a bike. There were also a lot of logging trucks passing me today. It reminded me of riding in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
I made it in to Savannah a little after 3, got cleaned up, and now we're getting ready to find some dinner.
Today's mileage: 83.33 miles
Top Speed: 24.7 mph
