Wheelwright, KY to Hazard, KY, about 49 miles. Had a late start today as we had access to an awesome range of breakfast food at the Baptist church in Wheelwright. Kentucky has been a fun state to ride through. It is known by cyclists for its loose dogs. On two occasions, a group of dogs rushed out into the street barking. The riders I'm with tell me that at the Cookie Lady's house, which also serves as a makeshift cross-country bike museum, someone had donated a sword and named it the "Kentucky Dog Slayer." So far I've only had to use my air horn once, although I've yelled at the dogs a few times. Even if the dogs here aren't the best, I've found the drivers to be very courteous in sharing the road here, moreso than other states that I've been to. The people have been very friendly, and often people wave or say hi as we go by. Tonight, the group of Penn Staters and I are staying with a Warm Showers host named Izzy. He lives in Hazard with two cats.
