Nice ride today. Fewer hills, fewer dogs, fewer trucks. We rode 50 miles to Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Pedaled through gentle rolling hills and large farms. This is the most prosperous looking area of Kentucky that we’ve passed through. Today was definitely the hottest day we’ve experienced, low 90’s. when it gets this hot it’s hard to replace the fluids lost to sweat. We were supposed to stay at a ymca with showers 3 blocks away at a chuch. The Y was running a day camp and wasn’t going to be available until 6:00pm so we sought alternative accommodations. Worked out great. We’re staying at the Beaumont Inn which is a beautiful old hotel. It’s in the national register of historic places. This is obviously a big splurge, but we are allocated per diem amounts for food and lodging. Right now we’re under budget so this turned out to be a nice surprise. We won’t be able to cook here so gosh darn we’ll have to go out to dinner. Found out how reasonable the cost of living is here. Got in so early I didn’t eat lunch on the road so asked for the best buger in town and tom and I road about a mile to the restaurant. Burger, fries, ice cream. The check was $7.70. we assumed that was per person, but no it was the total for both lunches. What a deal.
