Just a beautiful weekend here on St. Simons Island. Fall is my favorite time of the year! I pulled out my bike, rounded up the kids from the couch and the three of us set out for an island bike ride. We managed just under 8 miles today on our winding ride around the island. Our first stop was at East Beach to check out the beach crowd which was quite busy. Temps yesterday topped out in the mid 80s and today it was sunny and in the mid 70s so lots of people were out and about and a good portion were at the beach.
We headed from the beach down along Ocean Blvd to the "Village" where my daughters chose Dairy Queen for lunch. After a couple of burgers and shakes we were back on the road to pick up a spare kid. Our troupe now numbering four, we made our way down along Demeree past the St. Simons Airport, around the traffic circle and over to Starbucks. I love Starbucks as it is a great place for the kids and I to hang out for a bit, have a smoothie, frapacino or in my case an Americano. They have great wifi and it has just become 'our place' to hang out. The girls all fiddle with their iPhones, gossip back and forth and for the most part ignore me. At least until I can find a point to interject something funny to keep up. Well after Starbucks we were headed back to the house where the girls all got ready to go see a movie at the Island Cinemas. So I now have a few minutes to myself to catch up on the news and check in with my blog.
I really like that St. Simons Island is crisscrossed in bike trails, you can really enjoy the island in a low impact, easy going tour. I blogged about my new Townie bike a few months ago and I have to tell you it is really holding up. I did customize it with a new cup holder, an iPhone holder and a rack on the back to make my trips a little more fun. I also downloaded a new app called Road Bike Pro. It tracks my progress while out on my bike so that I can view my route, speed, etc. Great app for someone like me! They also have fitness apps and running apps from the same company.

So whether it is walking/running, biking, or driving a golf cart or car, St. Simons is a great place to be outdoors! As always I like to give a shout out to Chris at Monkey Wrench Bikes SSI. They really are the best bikes around. I rode my old mountain bike last week for about 5 feet before asking my daughter for my Townie back, much to her chagrin. It really is a case of apples and pineapples!
Of note: I've sold the 2 bedroom condo listed on my blog and just put the 3 bedroom condo under contract to sell the first week of November. There are still great deals to be had on St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island and Brunswick. I will have a Jekyll Island 3 bedroom 2 bath oceanfront condo coming onto the market soon along with a beautiful home with a pool, just a few miles from the FLETC front gate coming too.
I just learned of a beautiful condo in Sea Palms at The Oaks, mid North end of the island, that has been reduced to $140,000! This is an awesome deal for Sea Palms and The Oaks is just across the street from the clubhouse and resort pool. These Sea Palms condos are a great investment as they are almost always busy in the rental program or they're great for your golf getaway condo on St. Simons.
Call or email me for more information/photos and we can set up to see it.
