Second Century! Holler.

Day 18 – Flatwoods, KY to Paris, KY

Stats:
113.96 miles (2nd century!)
7:28 time

So, all and all, Flatwoods is not really a happenin’ town. We had a night with not too much to do and decided it would be fun to take advantage and go for a night out. Well, this was quite the ordeal. Not only does Flatwoods not have any bars, but they also do not have cabs (wha?) As desperate 20-somethings we actually ended up calling a cab company in Ohio (just over the border) and had them shuttle us to a local bar in Ironston, Oh. Thew cabby was very curious as to why “a church group was putting so much effort into going to a late night dive bar on a Tuesday” hah. It ended up being a pretty fun night as the place we went was equipped with multiple cornhole set ups (a P2SF2010 staple) and outdoor music. It was just too funny how difficult it was to try and go out for a bit.

While my first century was incredibly epic due to the absurdity of the terrain and the time I spent on my bike, our second century was even more amazing because we were able able to finish the ride together, as a team.



CHECK OUT THAT MILAGE! (sorry its rotated)

It was a wicked hot day, but the ride itself was not too bad as Kentucky has proven to be quite flat. We pretty much just kinda cruised the whole time which was refreshing. It felt good! We stayed at the YMCA in Paris that night which was awesome because we were able to swim right after the ride. We also were able to get some serious donation magic action and Papa John’s provided pizzas for us to eat and a local bakery delivered pastries for breakfast the next morning. WE LOVE DONATION MAGIC!
