View Waterboro Lyman Hollis Variation in a larger map
The Waterboro Lyman Hollis Eastern Trail loop adds the Eastern Trail on the way out and the way in primarily to avoid traffic and to add variety. This loop also includes Simpson Road and Mitchell Hill Road, two diversions that include short but steep climbs (Frame and Wheel recommends "Put Me Back on My Bike", an account of the life of Tom Simpson, the great British cyclist who died on the ascent of Mount Ventoux during the Tour de France in the late 60s). The duration of the ride was 281 minutes and the distance was 88 miles. Average moving speed was about 19 miles per hour and maximum speed was 35 miles per hour. Total elevation gain was 3,916 feet and maximum elevation was 323 feet. Maximum grade was 12%.
Frame and Wheel marks a diabolical pothole that is located just on the white line around 154 Spurwink Road on Route 77 North. It is about 2 feet long and one foot wide and very deep; it is a section where the ground has eroded away under the pavement, creating a sink hole of sorts. Frame and Wheel felt obliged to stop and record the hole (after an earlier near miss), and place a fallen lamp cover over the hazard, hopefully to warn other riders and attract the attention of the Department of Transportation.
