Wutheringbikes Home -- TransAm Bike Ride

June 30th (Wednesday) 2004
From Berea to Lincoln Homestead Park - 79 miles. The landscape changes after
Berea, the hills become much smaller and there's a sense that it's a primarily
agricultural landscape rather than a wilder wooded landscape. The riding
seemed easier, and the humidity seemed initially a bit lower. Kept bumping
in Mark and Wanda, and Jason - all of whom were heading more or less in
the same direction. Harrodsburg was nice - a town where the historic core
still feels real, and not tourist schmalz with no real shops. Harrodsburg
claims to be the first settlement in Kentucky - settlement as a permanent
thing, I suppose. Ended up shopping in Springfield, but they had no wine
only heavy six packs of beer, too heavy we decided for the bike. Went to
the Lincoln Homestead State Park - no obvious campsite but we met someone
who said camp at the bottom of the hill, which we did. No showers. Mark
and Wanda rolled up, and so did Jason. Mark had bought beer - hooray. Bass
Export, so English beer as well. A beautiful ending to a hot and long day.
