The third annual Tour de Lowcountry (part of the Colleton County Rice Festival), and my first paid cycling event. It looked like there were around 80-100 riders lined up at the start.

It started a little on the cold side, but after the first hour the weather was nearly ideal, although breezy at times.

The roads were a mixed bag; one or two sections were great, most were okay, and one in particular was horrendous. A rider next to me got a pinch flat from hitting a pothole, and another right in front broke his wheel. More consistent calling out of road hazards was warranted. 

I dawdled near the back at the start, getting shots of the whole field, and quickly found myself about 500m behind the lead group; I had to put the hammer down for about ten minutes to catch up. That was quite fun, since we had rolling road closures to see us out of town.

After that, it was a steady ride. We stopped for about ten minutes at the halfway rest stop, then resumed at the same pace as before. For some reason, the ride is actually only 99.5km, so I doubled back right at the end to hit the metric century.

Overall, it's a nice ride, and certainly worth trying if you haven't already.
