Elizabeth Town, IL to Grand Rivers, KY...67 miles
No picture today; the internet doesn't work well enought to get them up-loaded. I had a great day of riding today, never got stressed even on some of the steep climbs--really in the groove. I was worried about the Kentucky Hills but with 3,500 miles to get in shape they seemed kind of easy.
Ron, Cal, Frank and I rode together. We were riding in the dark by 5:30AM and with all our lights flashing we looked like a 911 emergency. Our arrival at Cave In The Rock was just in time for the ferry to cross the Ohio River--just two days ago we crossed the Mississippi at Chester. Kentucky greeted us with gound vapors, green trees and hills. We stopped at about 8:00 AM in Carrsville, KY for a break and it was so still we joked about it being the Twlight Zone--do do do do do do.
We stopped again in Smithville for brunch. Cal ate about a million calories worth of cake before tackling his french toast, eggs and bacon. It's hard to believe we're all eating like pigs and still loosing weight. One thing about rooming with the tour leader is the hotels some time upgrade his room since he is bring them so much business. In Three Rivers we have our own 2 bedroom house with kitchen etc. I'm going to cook for the group tonight.
