We had to ride over a few hills, and some of them were steep, but they didn't make much of an impression on me. It seems like we'll have gently rolling hills until we get more into the Appalachians in a couple days.
We also crossed into Kentucky, our penultimate state. Although we go the long way through Kentucky and Virginia, it makes it seem like the trip is nearing the end.
To get to Kentucky, we crossed the Ohio River on a ferry boat.
We're staying inside at a church in Marion, set up in a room with six couches. We made pizza in the church's kitchen and I quizzed dad on whether he thinks he's eating enough. He probably isn't, even though his half of the pizza had 800 calories, which he followed with a big bowl of butter pecan ice cream.
We weren't chased by any dogs today, but probably will be soon. For cyclists, Kentucky is known as the place where dogs like to run after you. I'm hoping to get some action photos or videos of these events, so stay tuned.
Tomorrow we plan to ride to the little town of Utica where we hear cyclists can stay in a firehouse.
Also, that's a picture of my bike and loaded gear.
