Henderson KY

We did just under 90 miles today, and crossed solidly into Kentucky. We went over the Ohio River at a little before noon, which was incredibly big and majestic. We will post some photos in the next few days. Kentucky so far has been a good ride, generally flat, with modest rolling hills. We are now down to 802 miles to go!

Two days ago we ran into the 'Beijing - London' cycling group. It is a group of 15 or so Europeans that have been cycling from the prior summer Olympic site, Beijing, to the current site, London. They started in Beijing, went through Korea, Japan, flew to LA, then went through Phoenix and are headed to Washington. Then they fly to Ireland, go across the Irish Sea, and plan to make the closing ceremonies. In London Wow! They previously did Athens to Beijing, and are talking about doing London to Rio next. Talk about too much time on your hands! They were an interesting group of people to talk to.

We are having dinner tonight down by the Ohio River, which should be fun, then on for another 75 miles tomorrow!
