Day 18

 

Lets just say directions are not really my thing. I haven't been lost yet because I ride with people who know what they're doing. I'm pretty sure if I had to read the map I could, but for now I'm gonna stick with Team Mosey. 

Best breakfast of my life. 

Illinois!!! We had to cross a Ferry to get across the Ohio river into Cave in Rock Illinois. 

 

There was a huge storm at night. It was one of the coolest things to be in a tent during and totally worth a slightly damp sleeping bag. 

In the morning, some guy wanted to show is magic tricks. It was a little weird, but entertaining. 

Day 17

Honestly I can't even remember today!! The rest stops were great but the rides are all starting to blend together. 

Breakfast 

Second breakfast

Lunch. Literally the biggest Oreo milkshake in the world. 

We had an amazing dinner at the church were staying at tonight. It feels really good to be in air conditioning :)

Biking is more and more fun as my booty stops hurting and I actually learn how to ride with other people. Such a great trip and I am so thankful for everything!

Day 16

Today we had 50 miles into rough river damn. It went by quickly and we entered the central time zone after a huge and steel and unexpected hill. We got here, set up camp and ate a ton at the buffet. right now every body is passed out in the lobby where there is wifi and air conditioning. Its so hot today! This is the first time I've had service or a charged phone so I don't have many pics!

Day 15

We left Harrodsburg and had an 87 mile day to Hodgenville. We had McDonald's for lunch and then took a nap in the park for a couple hours. The last 15 miles my knee was killing me but hopefully icing will help!

This is team mosey. We mosey all day everyday (only it's definitely a brisk mosey)

We made out own rest stop for some ice cream and ice water. 

This was a sweet downhill before we had to walk our bikes through some construction. Fun stuff!

We slept in a park pavilion and snuck into some showers at the pool. Emily's parents came and brought us delicious chicken and subway and donuts. 

Day 14

Today was an awesome day. We had a short ride and it was just beautiful. 

We left the house we were staying at and cruised to Harrodsburg for some Mexican and margaritas. 

Everybody needs a mid morning Dr. pepper!!

Best 4 miles of the trip right here. 

Twinners!

The tree where we put our hammocks for the night. Sweet!! 

Also I got a 100 dollar donation from a bartender in town!

Day 13

Woke up today and went to a little diner in Booneville. We biked 20 miles to dq somewhere in Kentucky and chilled there for 2 hours while a big storm passed. I was so tired and napped for 1.5 hours. 

The next leg was about 25 to Berea. We got there pretty quick and chilled for a while before heading to our destination. A friend of somebody let us camp in their yard and gave us a delicious dinner!

 

Awesome time!!

Singing on the porch. 

Rice and beans! 

Chilling in Berea waiting for the others. 

Day 12

Today we started out and our first rest stop was at a Walmart. The rest of the day was so super hot we took a couple extra breaks for ice cream and water.

There are some cool ways to fall. Like cruising down a mountain and your back wheel slipping out. Clip falls at 1 mph in Walmart parking lot are not cool. Which is how I got this beauty. 

Finally there!!
