In the picture: Kitty and George at Lincoln's Birthplace.We are in Kentucky and George is peddling away... want to get out of Kentucky as quickly as he can and also to peddle fast to out run these vicious dogs. Yes, he has had many encounters with aggressive dogs in Kentucky (everyday so far)... he had to use his pepper spray (that we thought he was carrying just for show). Today he was attacked by a pack of 4 dogs at the same time. 3 of them were large bread including a pit bull. It took 5 shots to stop them. (George Nailed one right off the bat but missed 3x before he hit the pit bull, once he hit the pit bull the rest stopped). George is learning about dog attacks (we have never experienced a dog attack in all the times of our road biking until Kentucky).... you can't out pedal dogs, whistles don't work, Yelling "NO" works the majority of time, other dogs seem to stop as soon as they see spray in his hands, while others have to be sprayed (unfortunately). But the good thing is that the spray works but only with a direct hit. Today was George's longest millage day thus far. He finished his ride, right before a big thunderstorm. I did some site seeing (with and without George), mainly visiting President Lincoln related stuff, since he was born in Kentucky and lived here 'till he was 8 years old.
We went from to Harrodsburg, KY to Lincoln's Birthplace, Hodgenville, KY.
Total miles: 83.
