Switzer Covered Bridge ride - Saturday training, Sept. 9th
Ken and I both placed at the Born to Run 5K in Cynthiana, Ky which started at 8 am. The weather was pleasant and we ran along the Licking River that runs through Cynthiana. The awards were handmade ceramic rabbits made by the Harrison Co. High School pottery class. After breakfast at Hardees with some BlueGrass Runners we then took off from Midway on our bikes down to the Switzer bridge and then on to Peaks Mill, where we “popped a squat” at Canoe KY. We ate our pb&j sandwich down by the creek and Ken treated me to an ice cream. On the way back we took a side trip up a hill on Sulfur Lick road (gorgeous and long). We kept going up and up and got to the top and had no idea where we were. I stopped a truck with a rebel flag on it for directions and after the driver stated “we were in the middle of nowhere” he tried giving us directions. But as the directions were a bit unclear, we turned around and headed back the way we came . Total mileage was 41 miles on bike, 3.4 on foot (3.1 race and .1 walking to creek, .2 walking to pop machine). It was a beautiful ride and only one dog!
