Day 36. Pawley's Island, SC to Charleston, SC

Fantastic ride today from Pawley's Island, SC to Charleston, SC (66 miles) with my good friends Dr. Ken Porter-Shirley and Dr. John Templeton, followed by a low-country seafood dinner on the marsh with our families. Great way to spend the day. Also got some press, thanks to my awesome and beautiful PR agent Heather Templeton-you rock!

Day 35. Rest Day

Spent the day relaxing with our good friends Heather and Dr. John Templeton (Bower's pediatrician) who recently moved to Pawley's Island. Good friends, good times!

Day 34. North Myrtle Beach to Pawley's Island

Rode into the heart of the low country today from North Myrtle Beach, SC to Pawley's Island, SC (50 miles). Beaches, sea grass, and live oaks dripping with moss - such a beautiful and amazing area of the country. Plus I saw a lot of huge wildlife along the way!

Day 33. Wilmington, NC to North Myrtle Beach, SC

Rode into the State of South Carolina today from Wilmington, NC to North Myrtle Beach, SC (58 miles). Only two states left (SC and GA) before I conclude this ride into Jacksonville, Florida next Saturday, September 4. Saw some interesting characters along the roadside today (I wonder what "Monty the Monument Banker/Donkey" would think of these guys), and one random sign. I am also adding another business I saw yesterday to the list of businesses I will not be patronizing - Dr. Gray's Coastal Life clinic. I don't think it is advisable to use a clinic that has its own graveyard.

Day 32. Morehead City to Wilmington, North Carolina

Another highway ride today from Morehead City to Wilmington, North Carolina (53 miles), the most "exciting" part of which was an unintentional diversion to I-40 followed by a lot of impromptu mountain biking.
