day 37

7 July 2008



Today we rode a bunch of extra miles so that tomorrow we could make it a short day and go see Mammoth Cave. We rode 116 miles, and rode for a little over 8 hours. It was very tiring, but I was happy to see that my legs were able to keep going that long. I don't think we'll try another day like it, though.

We rode to Rough River Dam State Park. It started out looking like a very hot day, but some clouds rolled in and cooled things off a bit. We didn't get rained on at all, but the roads were wet for much of the ride, so we must have just missed the rain. Kentucky grows a lot of corn, and is very pretty and green, like Missouri and Illinois were.
