Dixon, Kentucky








So we are just about out of Kentucky, hopefully by this afternoon, and it's safe to say that Kentucky has been a great time. We were very weary about this state from our first impressions, but things turned out for the best. We were lucky enough to have the chance to spend some time in Louisville thanks to a good friend of ours who picked us up in Bardstown and brought us to the city to show us around. We got some very important errands taken care of (new shoes and pedals because ours were almost useless, air out our wet and smelly tents, and laundry). We also got to eat some of the most delicious organic vegetables from our buddy's farm. To say the least, our time spent in Louisville was perfect. Last night, we stayed at the Utica Volunteer Fire Station. Utica, Kentucky let's travelers on the Trans American Bike Trail stay at the Fire House for free, as if it were a hostel. We were so blown away at their hospitality, and generosity, they even had a box full of goodies donated by the local church for traveling cyclists. I chose a few pictures that help sum up our time in Kentucky, so we hope you guys enjoy. Also, on another note, the donations we have been receiving for our fund is growing by the day, and the support we have from everywhere is almost unbelievable. We still can't thank everyone enough for the positive feedback, and encouragement.

My tired eyes read "Pedaling for Alfie" as "Pedaling for A Life!" I follow your map every day.
