Great day for anything outdoors. Angel Oak was today’s destination. There were quite a few folks visiting the 500 year old tree. The ride was pleasant. I was yelled at just once. Everyone else was cool. Ride on. ☮ Relive ‘Angel Oak Century 💯’

Misty morning and clear afternoon. Pretty good commute if I forget about bubba babbling about getting off the road or end up in pieces. Jeez. 98% of automobile drivers behave properly. About once a day some dude, usually in a truck, has to tell me to get off the road. This time the passenger opened his door on Hwy 17-A and yelled. Stay classy bubba. Oh well. Ride on. ☮

Cool, strong, headwind this morning had me contemplating why I ride my bike to work when I have a perfectly good electric vehicle. The tail/crosswind on the way home made me forget all about the struggle I had 11 hours earlier. Had blast on the ride home. Spliced the slightly interesting video clips together with Kdenlive. Good commute. Ride on. ☮ Relive ‘Commute AM’ Relive ‘Commute PM’

Nice spin on an overcast cool Sunday morning. Ride on. ☮ Relive ‘Mulberry’

Cycled to and on Folly Beach, Sullivan’s Island, and the Isle of Palms (IOP). Had a nice tailwind to Folly. Tide was low. I was able to ride my bike on the beach. Good number of folks were enjoying the beach but still a little chilly to enjoy the water. Great day on the saddle. Ride on. ☮ Photo album Relive ‘Folly, Sullivan, IOP Century 💯’

I have named my Priority 600 The Beast. It is big, heavy, and hard to move. Don’t know if it was tired legs, headwind, The Beast or all of those things that made the ride home tough. Regardless, I survived. Ride on. ☮ Relive ‘Commute AM’ Relive ‘Commute PM’

Beautiful weather today made for an enjoyable commute. Except for bubba yelling at me to get off the f’ing road at Black Tom Rd & Hwy 17-A intersection it was a chill ride home. My Anker 10,000mAh battery only lasted about 5 months. I’ve been attempting to charge it for 3 days without luck. The way I mount it on my bike it catches sweat so the connectors are corroded. Probably will buy another and flip it upside down this time.

Tree pollen is everywhere. On long straight roads you can see the wind blowing pollen clouds across the road. Had a scare entering Black Tom Rd off the rocks. My bike was not changing gears properly. Turned out the chain came off derailleur jockey wheel. Except for the pollen the weather is perfect. Good ride on the Lake Moultrie West Dike. Ride on. ☮ Relive ‘Lake Moultrie West Dike’

Had a little bit of rain and a rainbow at the start but the rain moved on and was followed by sunshine and mild temperatures. The Hwy 17-A Avoidance route to Walterboro gets an A+ for light traffic and scenery but a C- for road surface. The asphalt was rippled, dimpled, cracked, and full of pot holes. Can’t have everything. The Walterboro Wildlife Sanctuary was a nice treat. Good trails and boardwalks over cypress swamps.

Chilly start. Temperatures were in the twenties this morning. Super nice this afternoon. Clear blues skies and mild temperatures. This is the second commute on my Priority 600 with Pinion gearbox. While I’m riding the 600 I keep bemoaning the resistance I feel compared to Old Yeller. The commute takes about 5 minutes longer on the 600. I need to get over the added weight and resistance. Riding to lunch and dinner on the 600 is perfect.
