Stats Monday, September 13 –Buford, GA to Thomson, GA. Day distance 112; ride time 7 h 25 m; ave speed 15.1; total climb 4,216; total miles 3,202.8
We are definitely off a recommended cycling route. Traffic between Buford and Athens was heavy (Buford is home to the Mall of Georgia and Athens is the home campus of the University of Georgia). We had about 35 miles of periodic semi-soft rumble strips which we had to ride on most of the time because of the traffic volume. Add to these conditions a head wind. Oh yes. I had a flat 5 minutes into the ride. All this combined to make for a cycling “work” day.
Conditions and traffic improved somewhat the second half of the day. For days now, we’ve had plenty of opportunities to enjoy hot boiled peanuts. But…we’ve passed on the peanuts.
Regardless of cycling conditions and all the b'oild p'nuts, we are a day closer to completion.
