Well it was a good day of riding, got off to an early start. Initially, my intention was to ride to Statesboro which was 120 miles out so I needed the early start. I left my ghetto A frame and cycled into town and grabbed breakfast at the waffle house. I could tell it was going to be hot again, must be in the south.
I was making good progress but kept seeing signs along my route saying Savannah was about 25-30 miles closer than my maps were predicting Statesboro was. I kept thinking it was weird but knew I was riding back roads. Last time I varied from the maps was myrtle beach and it was terrible. TERRIBLE. Never again I said. Never. By lunch time I had altered my course to follow a Google maps route to take me straight to Savannah. I hoed myrtle beach wouldn't happen again.
What resulted was actually a pretty decent route, low traffic and an okay road. It was long and straight but that is about the worst I can say about it. Google did new right this time but I maintain my resolve of "never again". Overall though it guided my into Savannah along a nice route with low traffic and got me there in time to watch football.
Checked into the Savannah pensione (kind of like a hostel?) and have a nice room. So far I love Savannah, more than Charleston possibly. I think there is more crime here but there is also more town squares. Correlation? Probably not. Great town though, probably the most amazing.
