Sunday Morning Ride

-



This concludes my longest distance at 50.8 miles covered in a week since I jumped back on the bike at the start of June.  Since this officially the first ride of July, let's recap the June states:

Number of Activities: 14
Personal Records: 15
Number of Hours: 14
Number of Miles: 171
Elevation Gained: 8,167ft.

Anyway, back to today's ride.  The weather was nice as it was overcast and with temperatures in the mid-70s throughout the ride.  It was VERY humid but that's normal for this area.  I was a bit fatigued from this week's activities so even though I got two PRs, I didn't feel strong.   Overall it was a good ride.

Before we get into the trip, let's look a little at the history of the island.

This may be an obvious post, given that we live in Lynchburg, but the Jack Daniel Distillery is a neat place to visit.  Holding the distinction as the oldest registered distillery in the United States, is the location where every drop of Jack Daniel whiskey is produced.  The history of the distillery is interesting as well, as Jack Daniel was an actual historic person.  Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel was born in 1850.  The exact date of his birth is in some dispute. Jack was one of 13 children born to his father Calaway Daniel.  His mother Lucinda Cook Daniel bore 10 of those children prior to her death. Calaway Daniel remarried, but apparently Jack did not like his step-mother.  After his father's death in the Civil War, Jack ran away from home at the age of 7.
