Hard to get a cup of coffee on a holiday

Rode to Henryville yesterday, 42 miles total.

Then today we had a big plan to ride up Corydon Pike again and have the usual coffee stop that hubby likes. So we make our way up the hill, down 62 and turn right at Korner Kitchen and up N. Luther to Duffy to Highlander point area.

But umm, it's a holiday so Bean Street was closed. Oops.

So hubby said, let's see if Hobb Knobb is open. So we headed down there. Arrived at 12:08 and they were open from 8 to 12 today. Oops.

So we just went across the stree to the Marathon and he had his coffee. Gotta love those gas station/quick stops that never close.

Then we made our way home going down Scottsville, to St. Mary's road, Campion, Atkins, Von Allman, Skyline rd. and down St. Joe. It was sprinkling ever since we were up Corydon Pike so got home pretty wet.

Total miles were about 35.

Plan another ride tomorrow to Highland coffee in Louisville, hope the weather cooperates.

And hope the coffee shop is open. :)

Debbie:
I think it was in 2006 when you described what seemed your first time on this route and the exhilaration of getting up Corydon Pike. It was inspiring to me, who had just started riding. Now I know the pleasure of a good coffee at Hobknobb after a loop around Skyline Drive. Hope to see you out there some day.

Hi MrG,

Yeah I remember the first time I went up Corydon Pike but I had no idea I actually inspired someone else. That's cool.

See you on the road perhaps. :)
