Pros: The short breaks to stretch my legs. First ride was very full. But the way home was much better. Cons: The schedule for my trip from Charleston to Atlanta was not accurate. I left at 10am like I was supposed to and the schedule I received said that I would be in Atlanta at 8:45pm. So I was pleasantly surprised to find out I would be in Atlanta around 5.
