And other great one texted in by Chris:
Day 13: got on the road about 5:30 am. About 30-40% of rain for ride, we did not see a drop!! Thank you Jesus!! Fought a little fog this morning by was not an issue. About 15 minutes in I en a blinking bike light coming towards me! I was getting excited to see another biker and....it was just Andy coming back because he missed a turn for his route!!! What a let down😂😂😂. An hour into two ride, I saw something tat resembled a biker in the fog coming years opposite direction and he went right by. I turned around and yelled an waved for him to come back. I felt like Tom Hanks yelling out for Wilson!!!!! He turned around I think I almost got hit by cars when turning around 😂. 😂. He had a touring bike with all the saddle bags and gear!! He was actually riding from Virginia to Oregon!!! He said he should arrive around around mid September! I got a picture with him and he got a picture then we departed. I looked at the picture I took and got a picture of my hadle bar 😂😂😂. I looked back and chased him down again to get another picture 😂. He was a super nice guy but was probably thinking this guy is off his rocker!!! It was a really good day! Short day of 45 miles but a day I needed. My legs are feeling a lot better. I made it to Owensboro around 10 AM and waited for Ken to arrive at our destination, Diamond Lake RV Resort! Tomorrow Andy and I are going to ride together on the bike route to Hawesville, KY, about 55 miles. We haven't rode together since the first day. He has a faster pace than I do. I like my steady eddy pace, so we will see how tomorrow goes!!!
