Today's route: Berea, KY - Hindman, KY
Today we get back on the bike for the home stretch. We have 743 miles to go before next saturday. We will spend the night for one more night in Kentucky then it's off to our final state, Virginia. We had a great rest day yesterday. We had a chance to go to the local YMCA and play some basketball....Jesse showed the guys his boyhood roots dominating in some basketball. Afterward we watched football for the rest of the day and enjoyed another Carolina victory. Today should be a nice long ride. God Bless.

Post Ride day 32
Current City: Berea, KY
The best way to describe today was that "we made it". Today it was hard to get going. We were treated like kings to say the least and it was hard to start peddling again..but we made it. We will enjoy a day off tomorrow and start again on Sunday. We had the opportunity to ride down some beautiful country roads and see many farms and open fields.

Pre Ride Day 32
Today's Route: New Hope, KY - Berea, KY
Today we should be a carb loaded and ready to ride! We've had great meals and great sleep so we are ready to tackle the hilly ride to Berea. The views will be hard to leave but the thought of getting closer to home is what's keeping us going! Thanks for all the prayers and support as we go east.

Current City: New Hope, Kentucky
What a blessing. Tonight we have been treated like royalty. Kentucky has been a very good state to us. Our entrance into Kentucky was led by a police escort and the hospitality has not been a let down for sure. Tonight Sarah's family hosted us and we were greeted very warmly. After the iron gate opening for us as we entered in, we followed the road down to 2 of the "trailers" at the end. We have come to figure out that when you say "trailers" on a Ranch it translates to "very nice places to stay on a ranch!" We all had our own room with large beds in them. Then we ate dinner....and we ate dinner.....and we ate dinner! The food was amazing. Sarah's aunt Gerry, cooked us beef brisket, potatoes, broccoli, green beans, bread and then dessert. Oh my what a night. The ride tomorrow will be very fun! It's amazing the energy you feel after a good meal to ride the next day! Now time to sleep, and it will be glorious.

Pre Ride Day 31
Today's Route: Rough River Dam State Park - Bardstown, KY
We are excited about the good weather and staying with some of Sarah's family tonight. We should have a farely easy ride today and looking forward to a home cooked meal tonight...priceless! Today we will be back in the eastern time zone about 30 miles into our ride...another sign that we are getting closer to the east coast. Continue to pray for us as we make our way across the U.S.

Current Location: Rough River Dam State Park (somewhere in Kentucky).
Hello everyone! Sorry we haven't posted until now, we haven't had much cell phone reception the last couple of days. Hopefully now it will improve but can't promise anything. Last night we stayed at Rough River Dam state park. It was nice but you can definitely tell the RV parks that are public and those that are private (no hot water).

Pre Ride Day 30
Sun is shining bright and we are heading east! We are excited about the weather being nice and should be a farely good ride for the day. The wind doesn't seem to be blowing as much as it has been so that's good. We really don't know our destination for the night. We are scheduled to stop at rough river dam state park but we aren't sure about the camping there so we hope it's "campable" to pop-up standards! Anyway, should be a great day and thanks for all the prayers.
