Six days in Kentucky

After passing through breaks Interstate Park, Kentucky greeted me with two flat tires, three dog chases and inadequate weather all packed in a day of riding. Ok… so sure I may be unleashing my irritation just a little bit. In hindsight Kentucky has a rich Appalachian culture with Civil War presence in the Southeastern Kentucky areas. It was interesting riding through these areas seeing the authenticity of its history unveil as I passed by. The people I’ve met, helped me out a lot and thank them tremendously but these things happen and all you can do is just be prepared for it and keep moving forward. Apart from all this I met lots of people everyday along my route.
