Halfway through today a man pulled up and commented, "wow that looks fuel efficient!" I replied that it really was not if you considered all the food it takes to get me through a day. I argued his V8 Ram was far more environmentally friendly.
I spent most of the day checking my mirrors to see if the mountains were following me. They were not. It was with disbelief that I watched them fade into the distance.
A couple notes from yesterday. First, the town of Berea, KY is dry. This means only one thing- that students at Berea College must be very depressed. Second, I spent most of last night listening to my host play the most amazing folk I have ever heard. When I get to a computer I'll add an audio clip. She also told me about her trip from the South Carolina to Nova Scotia that was a combination of cycling and frieght train hopping- with a guitar and banjo strapped to the front wheel!
Most likely taking the day off tomorrow- and it seems I could not have picked a better place. Bardstown is home to several Bourbon distilleries, including Jim Bean and Makers Mark. If I do not write for several days it will not take a genius to figure out where I am.
I hope you're reading these comments... I crashed my bike today, for the third time this month. Took it to the bike shop downtown and they gave me a quote at $150 for tune-ups and such... new derailleur, new pedals, etc... i'm almost as good at falling off as I am at staying on haha
