Charleston - Jewel of the South

Well, can you believe it...the plan worked like a charm, although at the start of the day, you'd never guessed it.

We got up and it was dark outside at 5:30 am, and moved to the road...except John had a flat front tire.  Nothing to do but fix it but neither of us spoke what we both were thinking...Not again...Current score 4 flats for John and 3 for Mikey.

BTW...I posted more photos to yesterdays blog.

The road was smooth, the temperature was cool, the traffic was non existent, the time was 6:30, the focus was ride, ride,ride and we did.

By 11 am, we had gone 60 miles and were feeling very good about the riding day coming to a close....We made it... Charleston SC


We got to the hotel at 12:30, showered, caught a cab, had lunch, caught a ferry to Fort Sumpter.  We were on fire!







Walked the streets of old town Charleston, on a beautiful May day, before heading to Battery Park, turned East to come up the wharfside of the city and hit the Smokehouse Bar-be-que restaurant for a great dinner just in time for a Margarita happy hour...

We returned to the hotel, to do laundry, exhausted, but full of the times of the day.

Pictures say it all

We have two more days of riding
Savannah lies ahead 130 miles
1281 down range
