Covington to Milledgeville Georgia

On the road again. Sixty miles today. We left the hotel in Covington at 7AM and arrived at our hotel here in Milledgeville at noon. We took the advice of one of the employees of a convenience store to head straight down 441 (usually not a good idea due to traffic) as they were doing construction on the highway and the speed limit had been dropped to 45 miles per hour. Great advice as it saved us 15 miles over the planned route and it was already 100 degrees with 90% humidity when we stopped for a break at 10:30. Also, as per the season, it is storming outside right now with a lot of rain, lightening, thunder, and strong (I'm talking 40 - 50 mph) winds. We have already lost power once. Another reason as to why we want to be off the road and indoors nlt 1PM. We are off to Louisville, Georgia in the morning via highway 24. We are looking forward to seeing Meg (our daughter-in-law, Grace and Harper in the next few days. It has been a once in a lifetime trip. It's not over yet, though. There's still plenty of road to ride, sights to see, and people to meet.
