The riding today was gorgeous as we headed to our last stop in Kentucky, Morehead, KY. We were served a hot breakfast of eggs, bacon, granola, and fruit sponsored by Dick and Barbara Darmek who had a son do the Journey of Hope two years ago. The ride today led us through some beautiful country roads. It felt like we were on the Tour or something with many maroon and purple overgrown flowers lining each side of the narrow road. The road was full of hairpin turns as we weaved downhill through arching trees at 30 mph, leaning into every turn while admiring the beauty of our ride. It was overcast all day and we eventually encountered thunder showers. We made it about 60 miles today until we had to rack into Morehead to avoid the dangerous weather.
Lodging was at Morehead State University and lunch was put on by the Pi Kappa Phi chapter here. We were greeted by the vice president and dean of the school who were both very excited to have us. We are staying in one of the dorms here which is a nice change from my air mattress. Tonight we had a friendship visit at the park with Horizon Village Riders who brought about ten of their clients. I sat wit
h Debbie, a very social lady who enjoyed poking fun at everyone she talked with. She was very entertaining and quite a loving lady, she had a bit of a speech impediment but was very cognitive of who she was. Dinner was spaghetti with red or white sauce and breadsticks. Later that evening a bunch of guys went to Buffalo Wings for some discounted wings and to watch Andrew Lewis on ABC’s Americas Got Talent. He is currently in LA doing a photo shoot and some filming with his team of drummers. We definitely miss him on the trip but understand that he can’t break his contract.
Tomorrow we will be in West Virginia as we approach an new mountain range!
