A short day that felt longer than it was. While leaving the church this morning I read the hostel guest book. A cyclist staying last year coming from the west wrote that Kentucky was the armpit of their ride. Already crossed the border and I am for the first time having a difficult time understanding people- and I cannot find a Kentucky selection in google translator. Accent aside, I have found the people here to be very nice.
The several big climbs today were worth the views at the top. For the first time feel like I am in THE mountains. The roads are still lined with dogwood, making thisprobably the best time of the year to come through. The traffic is minimal except for carefully slow coal trucks winding their way in and out of pits.
You look like such a stud! Congrats for your first new state!
ReplyDeleteThere's gotta be an Elkhorn Ridge somewhere around Elkhorn City, so you can double up on coincidental OCMS references.
ReplyDeleteYou almost look as good as I do Sebbie.
ReplyDeleteHope all the equipment is working well.
