In Huntington, WV

Well the past few days have been interesting!

Yesterday we started out from Owingsville, KY and headed out for Grayson, KY. After a long debate in the middle of the horse race track where we were camping we decided to ride about 20 miles and stop at the Library to try and get the website up and running again.

We made it about a mile and then decided to stop and charge electronics since all the iPods were dead and most importantly my iPhone which is our GPS! After another wasted hour or two it is almost noon and we are on the road again.

After a quick 2 hour ride we roll into Morehead, KY. A quiet college town nestled at the base of the Appalachian Mountains. We swarmed the library and then swarmed the state university stealing all the wi-fi we could get our hands on. We still could not get the site updated so we decided to ride on, it was almost 6.

Around 8 we roll into the quaint town of Olive Hill, KY. Luckily, a few hours earlier, I called the fire department to see if they knew of a place we could stay and the man on the phone joyfully said ¨We have a yard here! Stay with us!¨ and that we did. As soon as we rolled up we were met by what seemed to be the entire fire department and there families!

We introduced ourselves and the assistant fire chief soon told us the exciting news that they had left over food! Spaghetti, Salad and all the goodies, fresh french bread, and many desserts. Ends up they just had their monthly meeting and had all the food left over, once we got our paws on it, there was no food left.

After a night of jolly people, a lot of internet, a redesigned website, it was nice to hit the hay in a cold carpeted room.

In the morning we woke up and ate a good breakfast with cold milk, fresh fruit, and all kinds of other goodies, we headed off into the sunrise ( it was then 10am). We made it .6 miles before I noticed that Kelly had a flat tire (she is the queen of flat tires).

We immediately pulled off and all layed down in the shade while Kelly got to work on her bike. The tire was fixed, pumped, and we put the bike back upright and it was already flat again. Round 2, we put in another tube, pumped it up, loaded the bike up, and it was flat... again!!! Round 3, FLAT AGAIN!

At this point we just decided we should eat and decide what to do... After a nice meal behind a discount cigarette shop we thought we would hitch hike, at least two of us, the chosen were kelly with the battered bike and nathalie her security.

Soon someone we ran into a few hours earlier offered to take us at 5 PM into Huntington, buttttttt at the same time I received a text from our host and informed him of our current situation. He then told us that he´d be able to help us out!!!! Sure enough, 2 hours later, we were ALL picked up (it takes two vehicles) and taken into Huntington, WV.

Upon arrival Kelly & I Rode to ¨Jeff´s Bikes,¨a local shop and picked up some new drink mixes and tubes. Then headed to the grocery and back to our hosts who are fixing up a pleasant BBQ in the back yard!

All in all, A very lazy but very good day!
