Century Ride #16 of 2014

100 miles plus today with Sean McGrory. Started in Point Pleasant (where Chris Carville saw my truck along the river across from Grants Birthplace and sent me photo's…is he stalking me?), took the ferry to Augusta, headed south on 435 before going northeast into Maysville, across the Simon Kenton Bridge to Aberdeen, north on 41 to 763 all the way to 125, west to Georgetown, south on 221 to Higginsport and back on 52 to Point Pleasant. We were chased by no fewer than 20 dogs and that is not an exaggeration. At least three times we were stopped by groups of three dogs and over the course of the ride by every breed from Bull Mastif to Golden Retriever to Black Labs to a Brindle Boxer. Also saw a fox run across 125. He did not try to chase us. And rescued one box turtle on 221. Both 435 and 763 are outstanding roads with lots of climbing, great sections of woods and creeks and big views from the ridges.
