Start with state road 28 off I-20 in Martinez, GA and continue towards Clarks Hill, SC, a nice lake recreation area. From there, continue on to McCormick, SC, a historic town with plenty of sights to see. From McCormick, follow 28 for about 6-1/2 miles and veer left onto state road 81 towards Calhoun Falls.

Very straight and flat. Road itself wasn't in bad condition. Not bad if its a means to get from point A to B and your not looking for the shortest route.

Not a bad ride. Road was a bit worn the more you rode north but good ride overall.

I started at Augusta, and had to come back so I rode this route up as far Anderson where I stopped for coffee on the main street, then doubled-back, but headed south through Abbeville, crossed the river again on the 378 McCormick/Lincolnton road, and continued back to Augusta along the 47/104 having done a 'figure-8'. Really nice afternoon ride covering just under 200 miles with a coffee and Danish stop in the middle.
