July 19th — Burgin, KY to Booneville, KY — 97 miles Goodbye to the Davis support crew: John from Edelman Financial Services and his 11-year-old daughter Katherine. Our latest SAG (stands for Support and Gear) crew members had to leave today, so we drove them to the airport in Louisville. John and Katherine were with us for 3 days but added much needed support for the entire time they were here with us. Thanks so much, John and Katherine, for joining us and for your help.
It was another hot day in the mid 90s with high humidity. The hills are getting into higher elevations and the grades are getting more severe now that we are at the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. My speed is taking a hit so the days will get a little bit longer to get in the 100 miles for the day. The is the second to last day in Kentucky and the excitement is building as we get closer to the Virginia border. 7 hours on the bike today.

Hey Rey,
First, I have to say you are amazing and very inspirational in so many ways! I enjoy experiencing your trip through the photos and daily posts. What an amazing trip so far! I can't believe how many miles and climbs you've logged - day after day! You keep me going on those dinky Haymarket hills I used to think were so tough.
Pat's looking forward to joining you. His biking buddies were out of town this weekend, so he was stuck with me - there was no way I was letting him ride on Antioch by himself!
Can't wait to read about when you reach the Virginia border. Keep it up - you're almost home!

Hey Rey,
Take your time and enjoy the last few days of your sabatical. Soon you will be back at work (but with a lifetime of memories). Fortunately, nothing has happened in the real world and the stock market has been very quiet during your absence.
You are truly an inspiration.
Joe and Margaret
what is you average speed so far on your ride? How much weight have you lost. You look leaner!
