The Genteel Man


Well Josh, I think the guys have reached the Georgia that you know and love. At least the genteel man part of the Georgia you know and love. They didn't say anything about the southern belles wafting on the summery breeze like angelic butterflies. And they didn't mention the smell of magnolia and peach trees. But one would just assume that these all exist if there's nice brick sidewalks and a beautiful downtown.

That's what they encountered when they reached Barnesville, Georgia, the "Buggy Capital of the South". What do you want to bet that Barnesville wouldn't feel much like a capital at all if they would see the amount of buggies we have around here? The crew biked a good 89 miles today. Quite good considering the fact that Jared had 3 flat tires. These guys have tire changing down to an art now and it only takes them about 5 minutes to fix one.

They said the hotel guy (I'm assuming maybe the person behind the front desk) gave them 20 bucks toward the orphanage and some Huddle House dollars. Now that sounds like a real southern genteel man.


Derrick says that to any aspiring bicycler wondering what kind of diet to use, he would highly recommend the Huddle House Triple Burger.

  3. Well i'm proud of the hotel guy. He must be in what they call the ''deep south'' to have experience in the hospitality we have come to expect from the ballads of Buddy Jewel. Josh

  4. Well done men! Good to see you plugging along. I would imagine that the roads are about to straighten out for you and the pace will quicken as you start to smell that salty water, and head down coastline. Ride hard!
