Orlando Day One: Done! (Morehead, KY)

Wind and annoying rain early, with thunder and lightning and monsoon conditions late in the day. Not nearly the relaxing scenic ride I was hoping for but there were tasty hamburgers in the middle.

Morehead, Kentucky. Situated amongst some lovely (I suspect, it wasn't rain-drenched) scenery. I picked Morehead while hiding out at the gas station as the closest place with a hotel (lessening any chance of either being hit by a thunderbolt or having the bike slide out from under me due to the lack of traction from my rear tire). About 90 minutes to go 20 some miles. Ugh. 

But the front desk guy found me a room. And insisted I park right in front of the front door so he could keep an eye on the bike. Nice guy. 

Unpacked. Drying things out.

Done. For today.

(Track from today's ride.  Note there is a small gap between Urbana and Ripley.  Some technology teething pains.)
