Our first turn of the day was supposed to be down a dirt road. With cloudy skies and a chance of rain we decided we didn’t want to do an 8 mile ride down a dirt road. Plus the loose sand and ruts would make things tough. After a quick look we decided on a detour. We just pushed on to Norway, SC and then turned towards Springfield the end point of that dirt road. So that meant today we rode from Denmark to Norway. How great a vacation is that? Denmark, …..Norway; …..both in one morning!. No matter how great it sounded on paper Susan was not impressed, and the 3 added miles actually ticked her off. The woman is never happy.
From Springfield we headed for Wagner, SC. The road today was much more rolling but still enjoyable and the cloud cover and low traffic were really appreciated. Once we made Wagner the low traffic part went a way. It seems we were now the main truck route from Aiken to I-20. More than once we pulled off the road because of the heavy truck traffic in both directions. A few times we were even passed by 5 trucks together in a convoy! Finally we crossed over I-20 and the trucks went away. The only problem now was the topography had changed and the hills had become more demanding.
They were not hwy 97 type hills but still a tough pull towards the end of the day. We pulled into Batesburg around 3:00. Another 1.5 miles towards Leesville and we came to our B&B for the night, the “Able House Inn”. Since being here it has rained once. I’m glad we are not in a tent tonight, but not real sure what tomorrow will be.
Today’s stats:(guessing, computer on bike in garage. Will correct tomorrow.)
60.5 miles
