First place we stopped at was 13 miles into the ride at exit 180 called French Camp. It's a little town that has a Christian academy for 1-12th grade. Ate some good food there and relaxed for over an hour! Highly recommend this stop.
About 20 miles later we stopped at another little town called Kosciusko. There they had an information center with a little museum about the trace. I didn't realize the historic value this road contained. It is actually named an All American road. We ate at Old Trace Grill and for the second time on this trip did not buy fried food. One of the hardest parts of this trip is eating calories with substance. Most food items on the trace are fried chicken at a gas station and the body can only handle eating that for so long. Personally i like (and try) to eat healthy food, and this trip has made it very hard to keep that goal while eating enough calories to not pass out.
After this nice break I asked Zach where are next stop was located. He replied with Holy Hill about 6 miles down the road. We discussed how terrible this hill would be to tackle since it was named Holy Hill. Little did I know the place was called Holly Hill and this was his way to play a joke/motivate me. At this stop (which wasn't on a hill) we met a girl who was biking from California to Vermot in time for her graduation (of high school....yes high school) and a guy who was making his way to North Carolina.
Ended the trip at 135 with our savior (Zach's dad) sitting there with a car for us! Ended up changing the ride millage. Sunday afternoon we will travel from 100 to 135. Monday and Tuesday we will finish the trip!
Until then New Orleans bound for the day!
