I love McClellanville. Such a beautiful coastal town. Fantastic homes on the tree lined Pinckney St. My fortieth century had a brutally tough finish. My legs were cramping and I was running on empty the last two hours of this 8 hour ride. Had to stop to stretch and recover a couple of times. I never had to do that before. Here’s to the next 40 less painful century rides.

Good commute to work. Ride home was tough with temperatures in the 90’s °F with persistent headwind. Still better than driving. Received an email today from Strava and Relive today. Relive can no longer use the Strava API. They reportedly violated several terms of the API. Relive made some software changes recently and made it much easier to create a video with their service. In addition to the tracking data Relive started transferring the title and photos from Strave.

Saw Ms. Fox this morning hanging out on Stony Landing Rd. Really cool animals. Hopefully her 2 friends are doing OK. Didn’t see them today. Great commute. Rained after lunch which provided a cooler than normal ride home. Sweet. Ride on. ☮ Relive ‘Commute AM’ Relive ‘Commute PM’

Alarm went off at 3 AM and I was on the road to Santee SC at 4:00 AM. This century was soooo much less difficult than Thursday’s century. I wish I knew why. I’ll take it. Low traffic, cool weather, and good roads. Great ride. GoPro is really donking up. Half of my footage is just white video. Time for a new camera. Ride on. ☮ Bike on Bonner Ave near Santee SC

Awoke a tick or two before 3 AM and was on the road to Edisto Beach at 4:08 AM. Had the road pretty much to myself on the way there. On Palmetto Blvd a few folks were getting their morning run and walk in and a few were cycling. On the beach folks were walking, collecting shells, and setting up for the day. Edisto Beach is a pretty chill place to be.

Saw 3 foxes on Stony Landing Rd probably searching for rabbits. Would have loved to see the footage but my GoPro Hero6 is failing more than succeeding lately. Sloppy start in the AM. It had just finished raining in Summerville. As I got closer to Moncks Corner it was dry as a Arizona bone. Kinda warm on the ride home, 93°F. Good commute. Ride on. ☮ Relive ‘Commute AM’

I woke up at 3 AM and was on the road at 4:18 AM. This was a near perfect ride. I felt good all the way to the end. No altercations with automobiles. Great weather. All in all a chill ride. A couple of turkeys crossed in front of me on Hard Pinch Rd. I stopped the GoPro after that to mark the event for later retrieval. The file is corrupt.

Before getting on the road home it rained a little bit. Temperatures were lower than usual. Made for a pleasant ride home. Replaced my ridiculously over priced rear view mirror. The old one was dark in spots and generally hazy. Enjoyed a better view during today’s commute. I joined the Rails To Trails Conservancy a few weeks ago. Received a t-shirt, magazine and sticker today. 👍 Ride on. ☮

Good commute. After work, against my better judgment, I ate at Taco Boy on opening day. Wasn’t too crazy. Had a couple of vegan tacos and a Dos Equis. I didn’t see any local brews on tap. I’ll go back after the newness wears off. Ride on. ☮ Relive ‘Commute AM’ Relive ‘Commute PM’

Other than a close call with a Wendy’s customer, today was a good day. Much better than yesterday’s storm filled ride. Partly cloudy skies, moderate temperatures, 4 blue birds, 1 red headed woodpecker, sunflowers, and mostly scenic Low Country was the story for this ride. My external battery I use to power my GoPro camera died. Yesterday’s rain was too much for it. Ride on. ☮ Sunflower on the West Ashley Greenway
