Day 10 Out of Georgia
(x-posted in blog: Veritaz Productions)
We followed the boys across the beautiful Savannah bridge today and thus completed the very first state of their multi-state tour! Goodbye Georgia, hello South Carolina! With temperatures in the upper 90's and the humidity on strong... we got some footage of our thermometer at 101 degrees at one point. Holy hot weather, batman. Eew, we even got to see Alligator road kill on our way out of the state! We suspect that we'll be seeing a ton of roadkill on this 5,000 mile trip.
Spent some time in Savannah with a man named Charlie. He had this awesome beach house on Tybee that we were able to crash at. He cooked for us more food than we'd need in a week (awesome) and treated us so well! Charlie was Catie's grandfather. Catie is the little 3 year old girl with cancer that Tom and Austin rode in honor of in Savannah.
Eric, a friend of Veritaz and avid local Savannah cyclist, met the boys about 25 miles outside of Savannah and gave them a proper Savannah welcome. He came equipped with his own cycling spandex, a fixed gear bicycle with no breaks, and a short brim cycling cap instead of a helmet. He had a blast with Austin and Tom along their 93 mile day and later told Veritaz in an exclusive interview about how impressed he is with their tour.
"These Guys are going to be National heroes." he told us as we were talking to him outside the window of the chase car. He was super upbeat and encouraging the whole time and even ended up donating Rally Across America his nice bicycle pump after Austin blew yet another tube before actually getting to Savannah. 3 busted tubes in one day! Eric took one look at the small hand pump they were using to re-inflate and immediately gave them his nice and more efficient one to take with them and keep for the rest of the ride. Thanks, Eric!
We got some awesome interviews with Catie and her family. She was great in front of the camera and told us all about her favorite animals and about what her treatment is called "keee- moe". She was darling.
Keep an eye out for articles in Savannah Connect and the Savannah Morning News.
TOMORROW we finish our ride to Charleston and we have a day off to find as many people as possible to attend our fundraiser at Outback Steakhouse. I'll be spending time finishing the trailer and seeing if I can get it posted as soon as possible. More news to come hopefully tomorrow!
We could be closer than you know,
