Day 67

Day 67 eddyville to seebree

Today we geared up for a 90 mile ride! We knew we had a long day ahead of us! Chowed down on some good breakfast that would provide us with the needed energy. The whole day there were rolling hills. Kentucky is quite beautiful with the majority of the states lands used for agriculture purposes. We rode through fields of corn, soy beans, cucumber, and tobacco crops. We stopped for lunch to refuel and 2 hours later we stopped again foe me so I could eat another cheeseburger.

We had been on our bikes for about 7 hours and the sun was beginning to set with only 2O miles left until warm showers and a home cooked meal. A funny thing that happened to Kristen was that her head almost was taken off by a turkey vulture which literally came out of the bushes. I tell ya this girl always has really random animal encounter! My story wasn't so funny...I think the bad burger that I ate was tainted and had to GO number 2 REALLY bad!! Lucky to say that when I thought there wasn't any more strengh to hold it anymore I saw the wonderful church with Pastor Bob standing out front, greeting us with a warm smile.

The church was really nice and very accommodating. Bob let us have the whole basement of the church which has showers, tv, mattresses, and a mean ping pong table. Bob was kind enough to invite us to dinner that hid lovely wife Violet made. Bob and Violet have been letting cyclist stay and eat warm delicious dinners for years! Violet made an amazing dinner and we stuffed our faces until Kristen and I got food babies! Thanks again Bob and Violet for our hospitality and taking us in like your own. Your kind gestures will not be forgotten.

After dinner we exchanged stories with the West bounders and they gave Kristen a spray bottle filled with extra extra hot sauce the fend off the ferocious dogs in E Kentucky. Hope it works!

Well we stayed up late..it's about 2 am wayyy past our bedtime!
