Technical data sheet of each day

Hey folks!
We'll soon start publishing the technical information of each day in a standard manner, so people can access that information easily. Also that will help us keep track of what we are doing and how we are doing.

Here is how it is going to look like:


Day X
Starting point: ...
End point: ...
Distance: x miles
Departure time: xx:xx am/pm
Arrival time: xx:xx am/pm
Events Summary: ...
Weather: ...
Road condition: ...
Difficulty: ...
Lodging: ...


Stay tuned for these updates! I'll publish the first 9 days in a row, then the following days as we find WiFi spots.

Cheers,
Eduardo


In Madison, GA

Right after our start today we crossed the Oconee National Forest. A few miles later, we arrived in Madison. That was just a few minutes ago.

This is a nice city, with a beautiful historic district. There are several shops and coffee shops and stores well decorated, and the streets are clean and full of trees. They also have giant houses round here, I guess this is a rich place for the most part.

Here are a few pictures we took just now (click so open full size):



 
  
From here we'll move along and try to reach a park about 35 miles ahead for camping. The road has been very, very difficult to ride on. Too much elevation! It seems there is not a single feet of plain soil around here... we are always either going up or down a hill... that makes each mile much harder to cover.

If we can't make to the park, we might have to stop somewhere else, not sure where yet.

At least just one dog chased us today.,. not bad for a full 4 hours of riding.

Cheers,
Eduardo & Gilberto


Lunch time

We stopped at a Walmart and found a Subway in it, guess where we'll eat? =)



First flat tire...

Took us about 20 mins to fix this one. Now, ready to go again!













Now we're all set, moving along!


Breakfast time!

Before starting the day nothing better than a nice breakfast!
