71km \u2013 9H37\u2032<\/p>\n
After driving 8 km we went through a town with nice name of Vienna, then the town of Fort Valley at the end of the sages.\u00a0 In between the two, we see fields, farms, a few woods and stands of trees.\u00a0 The scenery continues to be rural for our third day in Georgia.<\/p>\n
The north-west wind is rather brisk this morning. \u00a0Serge put on a second layer for the first time since March 6th<\/sup>, the day we left Miami.\u00a0 It\u2019s chilly! During the day temperature ranges of 20\u00b0C are finished and Serge isn\u2019t winded in the morning.\u00a0 His body regulates better and does not overheat.<\/p>\n We have not had so many direction changes in a long time. \u00a0They break the monotony of long straight lines, even though Serge really likes the long and straight.\u00a0 At km 58 we reached US 341, with heavy traffic this Sunday afternoon.\u00a0 The drivers seem to be in a hurry because they exceed the speed limit.\u00a0 Here there are no kilometers, only miles so, once again, I need my calculator as I do for gallons and liters and pounds (Lbs.) andmm kilos.\u00a0 On this US 341, the speed limit is 55 MPH, which makes 89 KPH, but the majority of the vehicles drive faster.\u00a0 What the dickens are the Sheriff and the Police doing?\u00a0 There are 2 vehicles patrolling in Fort Valley!<\/p>\n The countryside is beautiful in the spring sunshine and we are sorry to see that very often the roadside is used as a garbage dump, in spite of signs saying \u00ab\u00a0Do not Litter,\u00a0\u00bb occasionally with a $500 fine.\u00a0 It does not seem to keep people from throwing beer and soft drink cans, bottles and fast food wrappers on the roadside.\u00a0 Sometimes the quantity of stuff is huge.\u00a0 Either the road maintenance is less efficient than in Florida or in Georgia people are less concerned by the matter; both I suppose!<\/p>\n After yesterday, which was unusual because it was longer than normal due to the fact that we split it in two, we were both tired.\u00a0 Serge was really fatigued when he reached Fort Valley, probably because there was a head wind at the end of the stage.\u00a0 It seems that there will be the wind from the same direction tomorrow.\u00a0 We will stay on US 341 without changing direction, North West, in order to reach the South-West of Atlanta Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 71km \u2013 9H37\u2032 After driving 8 km we went through a town with nice name of Vienna, then the town of Fort Valley at the end of the sages.\u00a0 In between the two, we see fields, farms, a few woods and stands of trees.\u00a0 The scenery continues to be rural for our third day in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":417,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":414,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413\/revisions\/414"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
