The Idea

How it started

I was riding my bike quite a bit while getting my Masters so I got this crazy idea of riding out to see Bill in NC after I graduated.  I'd never done any bike camping, but it seemed possible after reading about Bikecentennial/Adventure Cycling maps.

Chris was working up in the Bay Area full-time, but he did not want to miss out on the adventure and was convinced he could get himself ready before we started.  I was not fully convinced, but knew he would be good company and was much more knowledgeable about bikes than I was.

The plan was set; 

Fly out to Winston-Salem, NC and bike north until we met up with the TransAmerica Route then ride across the middle of the US to the Oregon coastline.

The Road?

The Money?

Time?

Energy?

Which was going to run out first?

Day 9: Out in the open

Begin:           Berea, KY End:             Springfield, KY Miles:          ? miles    Left this morning at 6:15 to try to beat the heat and get to Bardstown (+100miles).  It didn't happen. Although it was cool for 3-4 hours, we quickly tired out with the roller coaster roads and the increasing heat.  I admit I was whining a lot. My legs didn't hurt that bad but, I just didn't have it in me.  We ended in Springfield at 12:45 and made the Food King our home for a couple of hours until Sherry called us back (she's picking us up so we can have a day off in Louisville).  I drank three 20 oz Cokes and ate half of a package of cookies.  We rode by a bank showing time & temp - 97?!  At 2:45. Ouch.  We have to watch out.  All the days before this have had some tree or mountain cover, but today was all out in the open. Actually saw some black people toda...

Day 11: 70 miles without pedaling

Begin:        Louisville, KY   End:           Upton , KY    Miles:        0 miles   Stayed with Sherry again.  Took Grant for a ride (we walked) down to the bakery.  It took +2 hrs roundtrip. What a journey.  It's now 5 pm and we've been dropped off at Averys Campground - south of Upton. The nearest point to the route is 5 miles.  We ended up saving 70 miles by sitting around today.  Averys is a grassy lot with one young tree per site. Only memorable item is the big black dog; He's giant and drools and pants constantly. I hope we can get out of here without drowning. We have a HUGE ride tomorrow (nearly 100 miles). We plan to do it mostly in the early morning and then some more when it cools.  Weighed our equipment; with water it is nearly 65 lbs + bike.

Day 10: 4th of July

Begin:        Louisville, KY   End:            Louisville, KY    Miles:        0 miles    Stayed with Sherry & Grant in Louisville. Went to her mom and dads for dinner (the 4th of July). I had met them two summers ago at Chris' house.  Went to see a friend of Mr. Jaspers before dinner.  Nice people.  Dinner was very good - Chicken, baked beans, corn and a salad. And for dessert, a peach covered sponge cake.  Cliff shot a rabbit in his garden while Grant was brushing his teeth.  While he was burying it, he asked if we needed/wanted a lucky rabbits foot.  Went to the Carroll County firework at General Butler State Park.  Kinda slow (vs the other displays we've seen), but nice. * I've decided I'm not ready for kids. At least like Grant. He's a terror. haha
