Musings about fun between my legs

Blackshear to Glennville, GA: May 1

It was a cool morning as we headed out US 84 – the morning shadows, combined with trucks and rumble strips were a challenge.  The best photo of the day (missed) was of about 20 women surrounding the sag vehicle Bo Peep, due to an error on the cue sheet.  Once the turn mystery was solved, we found ourselves on a quiet, but bumpy country road – with a head wind!

Took a rest stop in Odum at 31.5 miles then continued on into Glennville.  It was another blue-sky day in rural Georgia, so not many photos:  more cows, horses, winter wheat, manufactured homes – and headwind.  The last 15 miles were a real slog, just from road and wind fatigue.

We had our first injury today; Peg took a tumble on rumble strips along the road and spent some time being checked at the local hospital.  She will be off the bike for a few days, helping with sag support.

Sadly we had to say goodbye to Denise, one of our guides.  She had scouted our ride up the Atlantic Coast, and her first mistake was today, by coincidence.

64.90 miles today.
