John crossed the mighty Ohio river at Brandenburg, KY and entered Indiana today. Apparently, Abraham Lincoln spent much of his boyhood in Indiana –
John already crossed the Ohio river to reach Kentucky from Illinois 2 days ago. He will cross the Ohio 2 more times in the next couple of days. Tomorrow he will cross the Ohio back into Kentucky. Confused yet? I know I am. The state boundaries are a little tricky to follow in these parts.
It was another long day on the bike for John but it sounds like a nice day –
“The temperature was really great today for riding. There was a bit of wind requiring greater power output but it helped keep things comfortable all day. Once again, the ACA route provided an unforgettable day on the bicycle. I travelled along these 2 ridges for over 20 miles and it was just so great. The stuff in the AM along the river was great also. The day began and ended riding next to the river. Crossing the river was a bit sketchy as the bridge is under construction and there was only one lane open”.
Tonight John is in Jeffersonville, IN which is directly across the river from Louisville ,KY. Jeffersonville is known locally as “Jeff” which sounds like a great name!
