It’s April 23rd and I am sitting in my son’s Athens Georgia apartment drinking coffee. After leaving Lake Sinclair April 20th, I made the long way backroads trek to Athens a full day ahead of schedule. It is going to be much easier to vlog about this experience so I will keep this post relatively short and insert a few video links as well. Some of the bullet points so far:
- The ratchet closure of my left cycling shoe failed and I had to order a new pair of shoes. They should be here today and I will get back on the route tomorrow. The bonus time with my son is a huge gift.
- The heat and humidity are back and it will take time to adapt to it. After returning from our West in the late Fall this is the first time I have had to deal with it.
- The cycling rig is just too heavy with the amount of food/clothing I packed. It looks like Summer is here and I am going to need to ditch some cooler weather gear. Food is also something that I am going to have to adjust as well. This is why I was calling this part of the ride a shakedown.
- So far so good in my up-cycling project with my 20+ year old Cannondale T2000. Everything is working rather well.
- Check out some of the videos below as I try to learn how to use a GoPro, phone, Wahoo GPS, and Ride with GPS and edit all that info into video. This will take some time.
