With great expectations and quite a bit of trepidation, we pushed off this morning on our way to Utah – which seems like it’s in another country. The day is warm and humid. David Ahern, Jake’s kind friend, came out to the front of Fuji, where he works, to wave bon voyage and take our picture as we rolled past.
We were concerned about some of the big climbs today, but with a lot of muscle power, we worked our way up and over them. When we stopped in Howardstown for lunch, we met two older men from Holland, who were also having lunch. They are cycling the same direction as we are, from Virginia to Oregon on the Transamerica route.
In Hodgenville, we camped for the evening at the Larue County park pavilion. The two Dutchmen were there, as well as two women cyclists and another man. We had good discussions, but slept poorly due to the highway noise.
Jake's Entry:
We had a good fresh start from bardsown Kentucky to Hodgenville Kentucky and staying at a grass area where there were baseball fields. At first there were myself and my dad and two men from Holland. And few minutes later a elderly man and two women came and joined the group.
In the morning we had our breakfast and cleaned up and put everything together. By the time we started again it was already getting pretty warm. And the others already were on the road to go west like we were.
