Day 39: Taking care of business

116.5 miles. Yea, we're tcb-ing. We awoke early with full stomachs from the night before. It had to be all of that home cooking and possibly a few extra sandwiches. On the road we came across some young guys picking up trash on the side of the road. On the back of their brightly colored shirts it read,"Adopt a Highway Worker." We realized this is not a marketing scheme to adopt a highway worker. Although, there is a lot of potential there. We switched into the Eastern Time Zone today. It'll take a few days to adjust but we're almost there. We made it to Sonora, KY which is just off of Highway 65. That's great for us because we found the place we're always looking to eat at as well as a trucker $10 shower. After eating and washing up we headed back to a pavilion we saw on our ride in. We'll need all the rest we can get as the Appalachian Mountains approach. All we keep hearing from fellow cyclists is how hard they are. We're up for the challenge. Shout out to the guys we met near McDaniels today. Keep on truckin' guys!
