Watched Josh Ibbett’s bike check for GBDuro last night. One of his snacks are M&M’s. I picked up a small bag at Mac Daddy’s in Cross SC. Josh won GBDuro 2020 and I finished my ride so M&M’s are a go! Moved a turtle off Cane Gulley Rd. Has been months since the last time I’ve done that. During nesting season I was rescuing turtles every ride. Check out this turtle’s stare.

Good bit of rain this week. I’ve managed to skirt around all of it. Took Cane Bay Blvd all the way to Black Tom Rd on both commutes today. The traffic was light and the ground was saturated so I skip the dirt short-cut. Good commute. Ride on. ☮

Didn’t even take a photo on Tuesday. Shame on me. Good commute. Ride on. ☮

Haven’t been to Charleston on my bicycle since the rona took off. Good to ride on the West Ashley Greenway again, even during predawn. Slept a little over 4 hours last night. Woke up tired and never found my mojo but enjoyed riding through Charleston. Ride on. ☮

Having a bit of unstable weather in the lowcountry with some stronger winds. For that reason I decided to ride Old Yeller instead of my single speed. Black Tom Rd is a little busier now with the Cane Bay Blvd connection. Still better than the Carnes Crossroads route. Ride on. ☮

There is one Cane Bay road that exits onto Black Tom Rd. Hoping there will be another one that is closer to Hwy 17-a than Hwy 176. The less time I spending on Black Tom Rd the better. Good commute. Ride on. ☮

Rode to my favorite small town, McClellanville. Out the door at 3:30 AM. Very little wind and pleasant temperatures until the last 1.5 hours made for a pleasant ride. Felt pretty good after this ride. Wish I could figure out why I’m whipped after some century rides. I don’t really do anything different but the level of exhaustion varies widely. 🤔 Ride on. ☮

Installed Issi bright yellow composite pedals Wednesday night so I rode Old Yeller to work instead of the single speed. Pedals feel and look good. Ride on. ☮

Comfortable temperatures on the way home. Afternoon rain shower cooled things down to an acceptable level. Good commute. Ride on. ☮

Out the door before 4 AM. Saw a couple of deer in Nexton near the same location as last week. I rode to the Santee Dam. Makes me sad that I can’t ride across the dam, legally. It is such a good route to get the Manning. Google Maps navigation still recommends that route. I submitted a flag about it being illegal. The submission probably lands in a bit bucket.
