[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1431757, member: 13598"] My advice is to beat feet west/WNW from Myrtle Beach as quickly and as early as possible. From Myrtle Beach to the cooler elevations is about 5 hrs on the hwy so don't dawdle! It runs 6-10 deg. cooler so get there! Nowadays, down here in the flats, we're running 94-98 deg. With a mesh jacket the best I've found is to have a bottle of water on board to warm up some. Wet your shirt and wear your jacket, you'll be good for 45-60 mins. Stop often, drink your fluids! Check out Hwy 9 from North Myrtle. It goes all the way to Black Mountain, NC. Decent road, I've ridden the entire length. Once you start getting up in the hills above Spartanburg/Greenville it'll cool off but it'll be hot, hot, hot all the way. Bring your rain gear. We get daily showers and thunderstorms down this way. They're isolated and generally fairly brief but they can be torrential. [/QUOTE]
