Ride around Main Street. Four miles, twenty-nine minutes, ninety-four feet of climbing. The day after the Big Four Bridge ride, and this time I stayed on the Kentucky side.

Main Street in Louisville on a Saturday afternoon is a mix of brunch crowds, people who look like they just woke up, and the occasional cyclist who thinks they own the lane. I was the cyclist. I didn’t own the lane but I used it anyway.

Ninety-four feet of elevation is actual hills by Louisville standards. The road rolls a bit through NuLu and down toward the river, enough that your legs notice on a bike. Not enough to complain about, but enough to feel.

Four miles of a city I was about to leave. Didn’t know it felt like goodbye at the time.
