Day 16
Quite nice weather and roads today. A bit longer than some days lately, tuckered me out a bit more. Little riding on 17.
Great bike path keeps you off 17 headed into Charleston from the south. Fine lunch in Charleston before going to a bike shop for chain lube and a tire pressure check/top up with their floor pump with gauge before a planned long day tomorrow.
Stop at Walgreens at mile 19ish.
West Ashley Greenway is unpaved but nice.
Cruise ship at dock in great looking Charleston waterfront area.
Leaving Charleston to Mount Pleasant there is a fantastic bridge. Very long and useful to all travelers. 8 lanes of traffic, no drawbridge.
The bridge is high enough for large shipping under it. On one side is a wide concrete walk/ride path well protected from traffic by a good sold concrete wall. 2 way bike lane and 2 way walking lane means no need to get tangled up. Nice bump outs for views. Great cable stay design.
There are some other not so great bridges on the route but we won't go into those.
Sullivan's Island and Isles of Palms look to be great beach areas. But it's chilly and we're now back on the mainland readying to ride to Georgetown tomorrow.
Last night's hotel best overall so far but this Homewood Suites we're in tonight is good too, it just doesn't have the "character" the Edisto Motel of Jacksonboro had.
Bike Shop: The Bicycle Shoppe, Meeting Street.
Breakfast: Dollar Store breakfast sandwiches in the microwave in the room.
Lunch: Queology Barbecue on the waterfront near Customs
Hotel: Homewood Suites by Hilton Charleston - Mt. Pleasant
Dinner:
