S.B.T.C. Day 2: Only in Kentucky Exclusives

Day 2 was not too eventful. The big debate was whether to ride in Kentucky that morning or get in the car and drive to Georgia to try and squeeze in an evening ride. In an effort to make our extremely hospitable host Scott happy we opted to roll around for a few hours in Kentucky with him and then hit the road.

Throughout the course of the day we ran into a few “only in Kentucky exclusives” that were worth noting. The first was this sign on our ride route.


The second was interacting with a family at Starbuck’s making a pit stop to recaffeinate, stretch the legs, and of course allow time for their potbelly pig named Todd to meander around a meadow and poop.

The drive to Helen, GA seemed to stretch on and on. If anyone was wondering what a speeding ticket for 14 over in Kentucky costs, the answer is $156…we had to find that out the hard way. We will be taking donations to cover the cost if anyone is interested, just simply contact me at your convenience, we accept cash or check.

We finally made it to our destination at around 9:30 that night. Scott Hes was the man responsible for arranging our accommodations. Needless to say, I had a bit of justified anxiety about what we may be walking into based on Scott’s track record in the area of hotel/cabin selecting (i.e. the –2 star dump he arranged for the Lumberjack this past season). Needless to say, the place ended up being quite nice with ample room for sleeping and a respectably diverse selection of loud mouth soup.
