Day 16 - 77.43 Miles

Sebree, KY
Jon's birthday started with a rainy morning that was only made slightly better by the best hot breadsticks and nacho cheese dip we had ever had. Luckily the rain clouds lifted by the afternoon and we made great time with our miles. We were even able to stop for 2 hours to watch France advance to the World Cup finals by beating Portugal. (A very special thanks to the Utica Volunteer Fire Department for letting us use their facilities!). We spent the night at the First Baptist Church in Sebree who put us up in their great facilities.

Comments:
glad you got to see some World Cup. Whatever happened to cake on birthdays?
 
yeah! How come I don't hear about any synagogues putting you up?

Hi Austin,

I am so glad to read of your great progress, keep it up.

Everyone here will be away for the next two weeks so unfortunately I won't be able to keep up to date. Tina will fill me in on all the exciting news.

Belated Happy Birthday to Jon.

Cycle safely.

Lots of love

Hi guys,

i ran into your father in Maplewood, Austin, and he told me about the ride. Good luck. It has to be a wonderful way to see the country. One of the nice things about biking is that you can smell the world around you.

I am glad to see that you are going through Kansas. A few years ago a couple of scientists did a topographical alaysis of Kansas and pancakes and you will be pleased to know that Kansas is flatter than a pancake - significantly in topographical terms.

Have a great time.
