Well today we made it into Georgia, and got pretty far into it for that matter. In total we made it 90 miles today; leaving us with a mere 30 to get to the next stop (a cyclist named Mac I contacted through warm showers).
Today was quite eventful, getting wet multiple times and drenched once. With the power of the space phone we were able to know when to push through and when to wait so we wouldn't get rained on as much. We did however get caught in a storm outside of Guyton, Ga but I spotted a pavilion soon after it started where we waited it out, and cooked lunch, and modified my saddle (it was rubbing me the wrong way). Multiple times it was drizzling but that felt good and we just rode in it.
Tonight we are camping in the lawn of the united Methodist church in Claxton. We met Shelby doing some outside work and he hooked us up. After we got dinner at a place he suggested he came back in his 73' Cutless and we talked for a bit and he gave us the combo to the church so we can use the bathroom.
Tomorrow the plan is to take an easy day and to carbload.
My Uncle Charlie and I will be biking across the southern USA Starting March 10th. Once reaching CA Charlie will stop but I will then continue north and back across the north. Below is a map that shows an idea of what our route will be, as we are planning it on the road. The map will have uploads of our track as we go. We will greatly appreciate any place to stay and any suggestions of places to visit. Thank you, Austin Fox
