I got to see John and Susan a bit as we had some breakfast then I set out; today would be along ride from Lexington to Goose Creek. I was on a bit of a schedule since I was to be speaking at the Sonrise CC Wednesday night service.
John told me I would be riding some hills through Columbia but after that it would flatten out and it was a straight shot to Goose Creek. He was right on. I enjoyed the ups and downs through the outskirts of Columbia before settling in on the long flat stretch to Goose Creek. The ride was scenic and uneventful. I stopped for lunch at a Country Store and enjoyed a couple of Cheese Dogs and a cold Root Beer. After that I kept a consistent pace all the way to the church; I would meet Jerry there.
Jerry was excited to see me as I was him. He finished a few things at the church and then took me to the hotel. I got checked in, settled in and cleaned up. I was looking forward to church that night; several friends would be coming to visit. Rich and Vicki would be coming from Mt. Pleasant and Doug, Amy, Rita and kids from St. Stephens and Moncks Corner.
I got to church early and got to visit with dear friends from SCC. Just before the Service was to start Rich, Vicki, Doug, Amy, Rita and kids arrived; it was great to see and visit with them.
I enjoyed sharing with SCC about UFCCH that night and fellowshipping everyone after Service; it was a great night. After dinner I got right to sleep; I knew I would be waking up really early to begin a long, long ride to Savannah to meet up with Cam and Sarah Huxford; dear friends that we have known since college.
