Witnessed a colorful sunrise and enjoyed a strong tailwind on the way home, averaging 20 mi/h. That doesn’t happen without a tailwind. Great commute. Ride on. ☮

Rode to one of my favorite towns, McClellanville. Moved a couple of turtles off the road on the way. Beautiful sunny warm day in the lowcountry. Temperatures ranged from 72℉ to 97℉ according to my bike computer. This was my 72nd century ride. They ain’t getting any easier. Good day on the saddle. Ride on. ☮

Rode my single speed to work. I managed to miss the rain. Pretty good commute. Ride on. ☮

Rode my backup bicycle today, Giant Defy 3. Nothing wrong with Old Yeller. Just giving the backup a little attention. Spotted a turtle trying to cross four lanes of Hwy 17-A. No way it would have survived that crossing. I carried it, legs flailing, to the edge of the woods and told it to have a good evening. Good commute. Ride on. ☮

Rode the single speed to Ridgeville. Breezy with very light rain showers here and there. Enjoyable ride except for the Hwy 78 segment. Met my weekly goal of 200 miles with 28 to spare. Looking forward to the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully the weather will be good. 🤞 Ride on. ☮

Average temperature was 82℉ with peaks above 90℉. My shorts were covered with salt. Helped a small turtle cross the road. Saw some goats. Took a wrong turn off of Calamus Pond Rd. Ended back on Hwy 176, the very road I was trying to avoid. Oh well. Instead of taking Hwy 52 out of St Stephen I continued on Hwy 45 eventually riding Harristown Rd back to Hwy 17-A. Nice change of scenery.

Great weather today. Good commute. I love riding my bicycle. Ride on. ☮

46℉ this morning. Pretty chilly for the middle of May. Persistent pesky headwind on the way to work. Favorable wind on the way home. Starting my commute an hour later seems to be working out OK. Still finishing my breakfast by the time 8 AM rolls around. Waking up at 5:30 AM instead of 4:30 AM makes a big difference. Good commute. Ride on. ☮

Rode the single speed to the end of the Pinoplis peninsula on lake Moultrie. The Santee Cooper guard at the Wampee entrance just bought a Ridley mountain bike. He felt after 20 years he needed a new bike. Congrats on hanging on to a bike for that long and happy trails with your new ride. The weather was nice. A little warmer than yesterday which was appreciated. The warmer the better.

Cookie Chick SC is usually at the Summerville Farmer’s Market but for now she fulfills online orders on Saturdays in North Charleston starting at 11 AM. The minimum order is a dozen. I was about 45 minutes early so I rode into Hanahan to burn some time. Picked up my assorted dozen, ate one, and put the rest in the Topeak backloader. Had a nice tailwind into Charleston. Took the James Island connector over to Maybank Highway.
