Day 20- Spartanburg, SC to Anderson, SC

Today was a nice ride. Went on some low-traffic roads again. Topography is getting flatter which is nice. I also noticed the dirt is much sandier. It's starting to feel like the South.

It was abundantly obvious to me that I was in he South today when I heard a commercial that said "When you buy a new car from us, you get your choice of a shotgun or rifle plus a free concealed weapons permit class. Also, get a free day pass to the new shooting range when you come in to test drive. This is how we show support for the Constitution and your 2nd Amendment rights." No joke!


The best part of today was my hosts. Steve and Jeanne were awesome. They have a home on a great little lake. 


Steve has Parkinson's Disease and has pedaled across the U.S. twice while raising money for the Davis Phinney Foundation (who was the first American to win a stage of the Tour de France before being diagnosed with Parkinson's. Check out his trip diary. Steve Quam's Pedal for Parkinson's
