I am thinking about moving from upstate SC, to Columbia SC. Although I will really miss the easy access to the mountains, buisness opportunities may be better in Columbia. Anybody have any information on the Tri scene in Columbia. Thanks
I lived in Columbia about 6 years ago. Very nice, but slow-paced college town. Good tri community. Everybody knows everybody. I was even more impressed with the cycling scene. I found it to be a very cycling friendly community. Didn’t take long to get out to the rural roads. And it seemed like you could find a group ride any day of the week. I wonder if they still do those friday night beer rides. Gawd I miss those! I also miss riding outside year around. I enjoyed living there.
Figure out a way to get yourself a membership at the USC Strom Thurmond Fitness Center. My goodness, what a beautiful facility. I’m down there for work every once in a while and am allowed access, which turns my “work” trips into mini training camps. It’s a great facility, especially when you consider the average age of the kids using it. Certainly never had that option when I was in college.
