I made a little over 86 miles today in the heat and humidity of Central Georgia. I got a bit of a late start, heading out at 7:00am, and road a bunch of hills right from the word "go." Things smoothed out after about 40 miles, but by then the heat had turned up. I found myself stopping for water a lot more often today than I did yesterday. Got a lot of encouragement from the folks I met when I stopped. Around 4:00, I made it to Vidalia, and my host for the night, Mac, offered to spare me the insanity of navigating Vidalia. Since it was hot, and I'd gotten a solid 86 miles in, I gladly accepted the offer. After a nice hot shower and a change of clothes, we headed out to dinner, where we put together a much simpler route to Savannah. Now it's time to rest and get ready for tomorrow. I didn't forget yesterday's pictures. I promise to post them, and today's pictures, sometime in the near future.
Special note to all the Archers reading this: I went to McAfee's Country Store to meet up with you, but no one showed up. I might have been 150 miles from the normal starting point, but really, I think someone else could have been there...
Tomorrow it's on to Savannah.
Today's Mileage: 86.65 miles
Top Speed: 31.3 mph
