Welcome to Columbia Army Sarg. The wife and I moved here from Ohio 2 1/2 years ago. Your in for some great riding around here. Good thing about being in Columbia is that your within a couple hours from either the Mountains or the Ocean. My wife and I ride either direction quite often. Lots and lots of good places to ride to. Everytime we head to the mountains, we plan a differeft rout. Same with the coast. Keeps it from getting boaring. Anyway, your gonna love it here. If you want good friendly and good service for your bike, I recomend Thunder Tower. Never had a bad experiance there yet.

Sarge. Thanks for your service and welcome to SC. Great place to ride. The mountains are nearby and the beach isn't that far either.

Dang Ozoneman, ya beat me to it! If you can find a road with pavement on it in that area, take it! Check out the Hellbender 28 too...

You'll need an angioplasty if you eat there, it's not included in the price.

Heh Heh... I'm not crazy about the Beacon. I don't like grease, especially when served with a large side order of RUDE. Yoders is exactly 1 mile from my house. It's pretty good.
Shealy's is terrific! The first time I ate there I asked the waitress if I could look in the kitchen to see if they had my Grandma back there cooking! The buffet is great... then the waitresses come around with large pans of "pulley bones", and insist that you eat them until you cannot move. (A "pulley bone" is a whole (not split) chicken breast, southeren fried to perfection. It gets it's name from what yankees call a "wishbone".)
Also, stop by the "Rough House" in Abbeville, right on the square. It is an old pool hall that has been in continuous operation since 1932. Still has 1932 Brunswick tables. It has never been "remodeled", and is like stepping back in time. The owner, Shelly, will fix you a hot dog that will make you want another one. He has ice cold PBR in a longneck, too. (MY favorite part.
Come on 'round and check it out.
