Another Great Day (Possibly the Best)

After maybe 20-25 miles of tailwinds, we came by this place out off the road by itself, nothing nearby, somewhere near McClellanville, SC. We passed by, it was on the opposite side of the road, and I told Cathy we needed to go there. We had planned a picnic, and were carrying all we needed to have a nice meal in a good spot by the road, but I just knew it looked like the right place to stop. So we doubled back. What a find!

Great group of folks waiting to ask us about our trips and bikes. Great food, great prices, real trained chef-owner making all from scratch. Kind of upscale country cooking. The people were interesting. One of them was a 94 year old guy that rides his stationary bike for an hour a day and claims that is what has made him live so long. He was so hard of hearing that he could only communicate with his daughter, but she relayed our bike trip story to him and he was very interested.

It only took a few minutes for the fact that they thought they knew Dr. Denmark's nephew who lives nearby and is a doctor also. Amazing. She called on her cellphone to confirm that her brother and son live nearby.

So we got back on the bikes and rode another 30-35 miles with the tailwinds into Charleston, across the fantastic new bridge into town (see picture) where as we decinded into town, a guy on a bike stopped us, asked about our trip, and then escorted us to our hotel, just because we were there on bikes and it was nearby where we met him. How nice (it only seems to happen to me on the bike). So another great day. Hope the rest of the world it OK , too.
