A Cubs fan in Cynthiana, KY (just for Dad)
Yesterday's rest day was fantastic. After hanging around Berea for the afternoon, I headed out to the home of Andy and Paige, just outside of town. One good hill to power up, and I was met in the yard by Andy and the dogs. Turns out Saturday was Andy's birthday, so combined with Father's Day today, he had a weekend as a king.
Both Andy and Paige, and their daughters were wonderful hosts. We chatted before, during, and after dinner. And what a dinner it was. Paige made fresh burgers, fries, and onion rings with all the fixings. After dinner, it was time to celebrate Andy's birthday, with an ice cream cake, candles, and song. A good time was had by all, especially me.
The dogs acted as a great alarm clock this morning, and after a delicious breakfast (coffee and a pair of egg sandwiches), it was time to ride. It was a warm and sunny day, full of rolling hills. I passed through Richmond, Winchester, and Paris before reaching Cynthiana. I pulled into the Evergreen Motel around 3:00, and after a quick shower and change of clothes, I headed back into town to find dinner.
I ran across the house above on that dinner ride. Since Dad's a Cubs fan, I couldn't resist taking the picture for him. The only other picture I took is below.
Tomorrow will be a long day, as I head up into Ohio. My destination is Loveland, OH, home of some dear old friends, Martha and Gary. Having passed the halfway point in this journey, I think I may actually make it to Detroit a little sooner than planned. I'm now hopeful that I can make it in perhaps as early as Friday evening (fingers crossed).
Miles today: 75.16 miles
Max Speed: 29.3 mph
Total Distance so far: 476.18 miles
