July 21, 2017 Virginia to Orangeburg, SC, 321 miles

Brutal heat compounded by traffic jams in 100 degree heat and full sun.  The bike and I came close to overheating so I stopped about every 75 miles to cool off. I have a system of soaking my shirt and a cloth around my neck and regulating the air flow through my jacket.  As long as I'm moving it's bearable.  When I stop, it's not.
I have also downloaded a lot of podcasts and listen to those which helps take my mind off the heat.
This is my last night on the road for this trip. I'm looking forward to getting home after a great trip.
