Ken’s Transcontinental Cycling Tour

   It’s now 5:50am eastern time on Wednesday morning and as I start my typical day by watching the Weather Channel, it was exciting to see that our current location of Perry is on the same radar screen as Savannah!  We are only about 200 miles away from our final destination of Tybee Island, off the coast of Savannah.  Tune in later for a report on today’s ride…

   *It’s now 4pm and we’re into our last ‘on-the-road’ motel here in Metter, Georgia.  Today’s ride was probably, mentally the hardest ride of the trip with a final total miles of 117 miles and 2,990 feet of climbing along mostly country roads.  We are ALL very anxious now to finish this trip and it’s showing some by everyone’s riding style- we just want to get there…fewer stops…fewer photos…just ride and eat and drink.  Physically, my crotch is really the only sore part and I took the time to photograph my butt on fire- see below!  Also, below is a photo of Ned’s last sag stop on today’s route.  Off to McDonald’s then dinner and one last night on the road!
