Day 45-Lincoln Bike Logs



Miles Completed Today: 71
Total Miles Completed: 2977
Miles To Go: 723

Only in Kentucky can you park in the Pilot Truck Stop and wake up next door to "Shag Nasty"! When we opened the van door this morning our neighbor was this fine, custom, Chevy Siverado cruiser. Needless to say, the guys were quite impressed and insisted that we include it in today's photo. "Shag" was sound asleep in the back seat after an obviously late Saturday night of music, so we never got to see him in the morning, but our imaginations will run wild. What a contrast; Amish, horse-drawn carriages in the daylight, and "1988 Texas Ride's" at night!

The trail today curls around central Kentucky from Sonora to Springfield on Routes 84, 61, 470, and about five others passing by Lincoln's birthplace and his early homestead. Yes, Lincoln was born in Kentucky.

Dear Patrick,

How FAR are you into your bike ride? You had better start going a little faster or get up earlier. Hope you guys are having fun. Keep on riding.
