It's hard to beat an early Saturday morning ride. I rode into Charleston down along the Battery and it could not have been more glorious. The water was glass smooth, the water birds were flying low over the water in their V formations, and the sun was just coming up giving the surroundings a cool golden glow. Looking out at Fort Sumter made me think that I was looking at a post card. Very little traffic and the weather was perfect, the temp was in the high 60's, and very low humidity. There were a good number of people either walking, running, or riding which is always fun to see. I stayed on East Bay all the up to the Ravenel Bridge and rode it over to Mt. Pleasant. Once I got over into the village of Mt. Pleasant, I was able to look across the Cooper River at the city of Charleston. The morning sun really made the rooftops glistened. What a marvelous city and what a way to start your day.
Today after church, I rode my regular 20 mile course here in West Ashley which I never seem to get tired of. Neat neighborhoods and an awesome stretch along Wappoo Rd next to the Stono River. There was a family crabbing as I rode by and the dad had pulled up a net with a couple of blue tip crabs showing his two little boys. It brought back memories of crabbing we used to do with our three sons. I did my course in 1 hour 7 minutes and 57 which for me is pretty darn fast. All and all, this has been a great weekend for riding and taking in the awesome scenery of the Lowcountry.
