Augusta or Busta

We left the capital of South Carolina this morning and headed southwest for the border of SC and Georgia. Austin attempted to blind unsuspecting motorists with his shirt...

...perhaps it was a security measure, perhaps it was because we weren't able to thoroughly wash the jerseys last night - the world may never know. Either way, there were plenty of miles to be ridden and sights to see...



This was also the first day that our riding was significantly impeded by rain, so we arrived in Augusta (after SEVERAL miles of bicycling) without having been struck by lightning a single time.

We arrived at the House of Claire ahead of schedule and cleaned up for dinner. Claire and her wonderful nurse-roommates treated us to a Mexican fiesta-dinner and talked about many things that Austin and Paul couldn't understand (and many things that they could understand). An unusually relaxing evening followed as we prepared for the hospital visit tomorrow in Augusta and the super-fundraisers that will be drawing all the best and brightest in Alanta in 2 days. Nonetheless, we were still tired at the end of the day...
