Rode a section of dike on both Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie. Discovered dramatically that the Lake Marion dam is closed to the public. Santee Cooper is South Carolina’s state-owned electric and water utility that runs the dam. I was stopped by a Santee Cooper employee and told to turn around. I begged and pleaded for him to let me slide fearing that I may not have the fitness to tackle a 150 mile ride.

Planning on riding a century tomorrow so today’s ride was a short one. This is my second ride with the new bike fit. So far, so good. The real test will be tomorrow’s attempt at a century ride.
