Day 24, to Sebree: Crossing the 1,000-mile mark on a gorgeous day
Heart | 1 | Comment | 0 | Link |
Start: The resort in Falls of Rough, Ky.
End: First Baptist Church, Sebree, Ky. This will probably be my last night in Kentucky.
The Daily Progress: 67.8 miles — a new high for this trip!
Elevation gain: 3,527 feet
Average speed: 11.2 mph —probably also a new high for this trip
Ice cream flavors: Cookie Kingdom Crunch and Michigan Pothole. The first one is basically an Oreo cookies and cream with maybe a malt or something like that for texture (and it's blue, but I have no idea why), and the Michigan Pothole is chocolate ice cream with thick fudge swirl and peanut butter cups. Maybe I should change the name of this blog to "Chris Eats Ice Cream in Every Town Along this Trail Across America." Actually, I'm gonna start cutting back. New rule for myself: No ice cream today if I had ice cream yesterday (well, unless there is something unique about the ice cream available today). Today, for example, the ice cream was great, but I should've gone to the soda fountain for something different.
Food expenses: $24 — lunch at Doolin's Grocery in Pleasant Ridge, ice cream and dinner at the Sebree Dairy Bar.
Lodging expenses: $0! Thank you, Sebree First Baptist Church! The space here is mostly for the church's youth program, but there's a room dedicated to cyclists riding the TransAm, with a shower, cots, lots of useful information, maps and a biker box (take or leave whatever you want). Oddly, someone left two wheels!
