Springfield, Kentucky, to Berea, Kentucky -- 75 miles

We woke at 5:30 am and prepared our bikes to leave. We enjoyed the continental breakfast provided by Days Inn and watched the Weather Channel on TV, then began biking at 7 am. Rich decided to take a different route, so we said goodbye. We rode over rolling hills, through patches of morning fog. We stopped in Harrodsburg to fill our water bottles at a convenience store. In Bryantsville, we walked our bikes for a short stretch because that section of the road was too busy with cars to ride on. We ate lunch at convenience store in town – Lenny had a roast beef sandwich and Lorraine had a cheeseburger. We navigated along small country roads with beautiful farm scenery.

We arrived in Berea at 2:30 pm and stopped at the visitor’s center – they recommended some places to stay. We stayed at the Morning Glory Bed & Breakfast in a large comfortable room. The innkeepers are also weavers, so the bedspreads, curtains, and throw rugs are all works of art! We walked to Papaleno’s Italian restaurant, where we had salad, pasta and big buttery breadsticks for dinner. Lenny had to pick up slide film that he had ordered and shipped to the “Oh Kentucky Campground”. Lorraine made a mistake reading the map and thought the campground was nearby, when in fact it was on the other side of town. We walked for about 45 minutes before we realized her mistake, then had to turn around and walk back. Lenny spoke to Mary Colmer, the innkeeper, about vertebral subluxation and checked her spine. We got cleaned up and were happy to relax in bed and watch TV.
