This was the second of two 'test' days for me. I realized this afternoon, riding US 25 between London and Corbin KY - in some ways the most dangerous riding of this tour - that I was not thinking about what my body was doing, except in the context of trying to stay alive and get on down the road. I realized that my body had finally gotten back into bicycling machine mode.

I just wrote a several paragraph section about bicycling machine mode and then, because I referenced something from an earlier days report went back to check on it. That cost me half of hour of work that I probably won't redo. That happens way too often on CycleBlaze! Please at least give a warning to the user to save before switching to another page in the same journal! Personally, I'm probably going back to doing all on my text creation in another program that won't let me loose my work so easily!

Tomorrow I'll head for the Cumberland Gap. The next day for Bean Station or possibly farther south.
