Have I mentioned how much I like my Garmin?









I was really feeling it today.. a few minutes after starting the heart jumped to 158 only a few minutes (and climbs) into the ride as we hooked up with a couple riders from Uxbridge.

Climbed over the continental divide and into North Carolina

Somewhere on the 276 we came across this great place for lunch.



Just after climbing back into SC, we saw the sign for the YMCA camp..where we had heard that there was a spectacular chapel, open air with a 100 mile view from the pews...it was a 18k out and back hilly detour close to the end of a long ride...but well worth it.
