Wow. Virginia took us three weeks, and yesterday's distance took eleven hours. Today we crossed into Indiana, arriving at our destination around 2pm -- making quick work of both Kentucky and the day's miles. Fittingly, however, to get out of Kentucky, we had to negotiate traffic on a narrow bridge with 10-foot lanes and (of course) no shoulder.
Madison is an Underground Railroad town and its historic buildings and neighborhoods OFF the main commercial strip are in incredibly good condition -- especially since Indiana isn't exactly a "Civil War" state in the tourist sense. If I have to opportunity to do another cross-country ride, I'd like to follow Adventure Cycling's Underground Railroad bicycle route. Fascinating.
