We woke at 5:15 am and began biking at 6:00 am. The sky was overcast and we were making good time. We passed a number of chicken farms, namely Tyson and Perdue. We stopped at mini-mart in Beech Grove to have lunch. The counter girls said they used to get hundreds of bikers coming through, but it’s dwindled quite a bit. We talked to farmer named Kelly Baird who was telling us about a local bicycling fundraiser, sponsored by the Williams Corporation. We arrived in Owensboro and rode an extra 6 miles around town, trying to find a reasonably priced motel. We ended up at the Best Western and ate dinner at the Moonlite BBQ. Their buffet took up 2 rooms; they had BBQ mutton, pork, steak and chicken, as well as lots of side dishes, a salad bar and dessert bar.
