On the Road Again

In less than a week Susan and I leave for our annual bike tour. This year it went down to the wire, but we finally fit it in. We decided to make it easy and leave from the house again. That meant riding in state for sure. Since we did the perimeter last year we decide to do the mid-state this year. We are going to make a big clockwise loop around Columbia camping most nights and staying in a hotel once. The state parks were our prime route determiner for laying out our route. It looks to be about 450 miles. For the arithmetic challenged this is a shade over 56 miles a day.

This is it:

• Chester State Park
• Camden, hotel
• Poinsett State Park
  
• Colleton State Park
  
• Aiken State Park
  
• Dreher State Park
  
• Greenwood State Park
  
• Home

This time I am taking my mini laptop. We hope to be able to post pictures along the way as we update our "blog". So now, added to our digital camera, Ipod, cell phones (two of course), our radio and all of their additional chargers that need to take the trip as well, I have added a laptop and it's power supply. And oh yeah, a cordless mouse because I can't stand those little finger pads that laptops have. What's a few added pounds to lug up hills.

So that's the plan. I'll write my report in camp and then post it to the blog with any pictures deemed post worthy when we come to a library or we can poach a little wifi somewhere.

We will be on the road next Saturday 12th. Keep up with us and let us know what you think.
