I'm about an hour and change west - our local Lake Greenwood is fed by the same Saluda River. What isn't so well known is how well the rolling terrain can work with a fixed-gear. The beauty of Greenwood County is that there are NO major interstates here, lots of quiet-ish roads if you know where to look. The local tourism/Chamber of Commerce types have perhaps mercifully missed exploiting cycle tourism - then again, it gets hotter than the hinges of hell in the summer ....

In the fall and winter, the local mtb guys used to ride all the Parsons Mountain area trails and had strong ties to SORBA. I haven't checked in on that scene since 2008 or so, but there used to be LARGE contingent of ss mtb riders in the area.
