We have now ridden just over 5,000km since the start with only another 1,600km to go.
Tomorrow is the 4th July and we will stay in Hendersen to celebrate with the locals.
With the big American joining us for the ride, the pace seemed to pick up as we cruised through the Illinois countryside passing a number of operating coal mines. The weather decided to give us some respite from the rain yesterday and we rode in near ideal conditions. We crossed the Ohio River about half way through the ride into ..... Kentucky. Got to try some KFC while we are here. This 100km ride ended in Hendersen where "Ned" once lived so it will be a trip down memory lane for him. Because the ride was over so quickly we decided to celebrate in another state and drove over the Ohio River again into Indiana to sample a few craft beers in Evansville. Great day given a 9 out of 10 and then Andrea returned to make it near perfect. We have now ridden just over 5,000km since the start with only another 1,600km to go.

That was quick, Andrea! Hope they are kind to you next ride. Greg and I are waiting for our Rome flight in Dubai where it is 38 C at 2am! Very glad we are just in transit. Watch that KFC!
