I hail from the metropolis of Calhoun Falls, SC ... population 1,300.
SAAAALUTE! Calhoun Falls is the world capital for tar and gravel, chip and
seal, shake and bake or whatever you want to call that absolutely awful
paving technique. But it's gorgeous here and there's very little cell phone
coverage. You rarely see a driver, period. You never see one with a cell
phone stuck in their ear. After having been killed one of those about 3
years ago, I'm loving this remote riding experience.

Clemson. I just got the flyer for Ride for the Raptors Oct. 1 in
Pendleton--hopefully some of us will be getting together there.

My road bike is finally fixed and I'm very happy to be back riding.
After not quite two hours yesterday my legs were sore in the evening.
My shoulder is healing, though I'm not fully back to swimming.

I plan to be there provide work stuff doesn't get in the way. Glad to hear
of your recovery.

I'm hurt I wasn't invited to the funeral. But it's good to hear your
still getting riding in in the afterlife.

(Read your last sentence a little closer).

Excellent. What is the rest of the cycling like up there... or errr.... down
there??? Tyres nice & light that it's like cycling in the air or so darned
hot, you have difficulty keeping hydrated???

Cheers, helen s ;-)

"Shake and Bake"? LOL!! Having moved here (Chester, Pop. 6500
SAAAA-UTE!) from So CA where such paving is nearly non existant, except
for the most remotest of area's, heartily agree with you. Not knowing
what it was called, however, I coined it "40-grit" pavement, after the
coarse sandpaper it resembles (and is constructed like).
