Kentucky and beyond

I've been sooo busy it's hard to keep up. So as I make this post it's already a bit outdated.

So my journey across the Big Muddy was okay. The drive to Kentuckee and back is over 19 hours solid! After all the hype about the hills and dogs of Kentucky I was expecting more. Yes, the horse farms were beautiful and it was amazing how many backroads Kentucky has paved. But the dogs and hills didn't live up to the hype. The cycling days were short and easy; and the dogs were downright lazy! All the history was exciting though. Like Fort Boonesbourg, Constitution Square, the Wilderness Road, Berea College, and the first stomach operation and amputation at the hip; just to name a few. I did get in a great ride after the day into Versailles. I went off route and found an old river road, run down bourbon operation, and got to the outskirts of Frankfurt, Kentucky's capital. I also got to make a suprise visit to my cousin who goes to UK in Lexington, which was awesome.

After returning to Denver on Sunday afternoon I hurridly repacked my bags and the next morning left for a solo cycling trip in Utah. More about that later...

So the news EVERYONE has been asking about....my plans for the future...drumroll please!!

thru Oct 25- continue solo cycling trip in Utah and AZ
Oct 26-31 Guide Grand Canyon/Sedona hike
Nov 1-4 Downtime in AZ/NM/TX

Nov- EVERYONE continues to ask me about my plans... gosh dern

So there ya have it! It took me a while, but ya'll should be amazed about how long this plan stretches into next year. Based on my planning skills, or lack thereof, this is incredible! I hope this answers some questions, BUT I'm sure there will be more ;-0
Cheers ya'll
