Leaving Sumter was fairly interesting as the main roads out are 4 lanes with a great deal of traffic until you get out a bit. Once out though was a cyclist dream. Basically 7 lane highways for the most part. After departing with hot water no ice in vending machine, it was off to Manning then Greeleyville. This was mainly a day of cylcling as there is pretty much nothing but farm land and woods between. Starving in both towns but my route had no anything no Mc D's no Hardees no anything so it was Cliff Bars and Gatorade. Did drink 1/2 gallon of Gatorade at two different stops. HOT. It was weird pedaling and seeing I 95 signs and Myrtle Beach signs. Besides my heart rate sky rocketing after the crop duster buzzed me on the way to Greeleyville this was a day of surviving the heat. Please put Donald (see pic) and Tracey in your prayers as I talked to both on the way. Request unspoken but God knows what is needed.

| The cyclist dream road. 6 ft bike lane with 4 lane highway plus center lane. It was basically a 7 lane highway with very little traffic. If the bike lanes would have been perfectly clean and a tail wind it would have been cycling utopia. |
