Day #14 - Century Ride.

The rain hadn't left us yet. In the middle of the night a storm came through but we stayed high and dry in our campsite. We were on the road by 7:15. This morning was perfect for biking, the temperature was comfortable, the road was fairly level and no wind. In the middle of the day we hit some hills that seemed to come one after another. The temperature rose and we began to battle the wind. But. We still managed to bike over 103 miles and arrive at our destination by 5:30. We are beast, but tired beasts. :)





[Imagine taking that across America]
We still haven't had any flats or major bike problems. All the roads in Kentucky go through small towns out in the country and Mr. G and I are getting tired of eating gas station food. Tonight we are staying at an awesome Fire Department in Utica Kentucky. There's AC, a washer and dryer [Boy did out clothes stink], and showers. We got to talking with the firefighters and really appreciate these facilities, everyone greets us with kindness. Tomorrow we are hoping to cross the Ohio River into Illinois, our 3rd state. We continue to run into more bikers, we passed four bikers heading east. We talked with two bikers who started in Oregon, they warned us of the Ozarks in Missouri. But. After biking the Appalachians, we're ready. So far our total mileage equals to 1000 miles.... Maybe that's why Mr. G is knocked out.
