Today we ride into Kentucky, but the weather looks bad and might rain on us a couple of times, we will see how far we got today, if the weather keeps up how it is. We want to thank Sebree First Baptist for letting us use there hostile, very kind people.
Today we got an extra hour of sleep, felt much better and rested. We thank again the Lucas's for there hospitality. The weather looks nice, the terrain looks good and we try to reach Illinois by the end of the day.
During our nice ride during the day, we went through Harrodsburg, a nice city with a population over 8 thousand, we saw Amish people. I thought these didn't exist any more, but I was wrong. In the morning till lunch, we covered 70 miles, it was our first time we have gone that long in the morning. We meet up with other riders going through the trail, but at a slower pace. The road was great, we are leaving the mountains and having more roads with less hills and most of them flat.
After getting a good nine hours of rest, we started at 930 and took small breaks and was able to cover 85 miles. In total we have covered 850 miles. We are almost have covered a fourth of the U.S. going across. We are making great progress, just don't know of we will make it to San Fransico on July 4. Tomorrow we head towards Illinois, hoping we make it there. Who's leg is it, after riding 10 days in the sun?
After staying at a hotel for the night, we got a great night sleep, well rested, and got a good breakfast. We started reqi late today, around 930 we got going and hoping to cover another 80 miles or more
Good start in the morning, we covered 55 miles, going into Kentucky. We are slowly leaving the appalachians and getting closer to the mid states. After riding 55 miles, the riders were completely wasted, dead tired and couldnt get up. Here in Kentucky there are no signs for the trail, so we were getting lost a couple times here and there, but we are on the right track.
We start the day off early in the fog, looks like the weather forcast might let is bike for the day, there calling for rain tonight and tomorrow. We will try to get 90 miles in today so we could be in the middle of Kentucky.
A great start in our second week, we have covered 85 miles today, going towards the middle of Kentucky. We had a late start and a little car problem, but that didn't stop us, and we just kept rising till we have no energy left in for the day. The rode has been spot so far, today, a couple of big hills, but most of it flat and smooth. Tomorrow we try to reach Somerset, Kentucky.
