Day 49 - July 6 - Salem, IN to Louisville, KY (45 mi)
Sorry, this is a couple days late -- we were without internet for a couple days.
We were blessed on Saturday morning to have Steve and Susie Edwards with us as we rode into Louisville. Steve rode with us, and Susie drove their car with our saddle bags. Though it rained the entire morning, we made good time, arriving at the bridge across the Ohio River before 9:30 AM.
When it is raining, it is really hard to figure out what to wear. Putting on a rain jacket is like bringing on a greenhouse effect -- instantly sweaty. Of course, to not wear a jacket gets you instantly soaked. I opted for not wearing a bike jersey and just wearing the rain jacket.
We rode on from the Ohio River to the home of Larry and Cathy Ashley, long-time friends of Mack and Elaine. And, though they are vacationing in Europe, they still loaned us their home and new Buick SUV. What a blessing!
Because it is a holiday weekend and the weekend before the NACC, we had difficulty arranging a church to host us this weekend. No worries, we'll be attending Southeast on Sunday.
We thank you for praying -- as we are now more than 2/3 of the way into Gloritrek, and have seen over and over again, the Lord answering your prayers for our safety. We are blessed!
Thank you for praying!
Dave, Luey and Andy
