BRAG Day 1

Have arrived in Ashburn, Ga 30.64 miles into the ride.  Hit the road at 7:15 this morning.  Sun is finally starting to come out.  Started the ride with Dick who is riding a Schwinn Passage as well.  By far not the only one carrying bags. One person is towing his daughter in a trailer.
So Ashburn is home to the Fireant Festival
And the world's largest peanut.

Eric, I have a friend in South Ga who lives in this area - you may already have heard info about the Peanut, but this is what she said to me in e-mail when I told her you were doing this ride and sent her the brag link
"So he came thru Turner County today! Cordele is north and Tifton is 20 miles south of me. The second pic on the website is of the world's biggest peanut, which is on 1-75 in Turner County. Eccentric editor of the local newspaper left money in her will for it to be built. " I hope to be making a trip sometime in 2014 to see her, you guys, and my cousin in Florida - and another friend who lives in the Florida panhandle - fingers crossed on that one. Enjoy the rest of your ride!
