I had an errand to run in Danville KY today, so I drove there, but brought the bike along.
I managed to squeeze in a 30-mile solo ride, on unfamiliar roads. Amazingly, I didn’t even make a wrong turn.
The weather was nearly perfect. Temperatures were in the 80s. The sky was mostly clear, and there was a nice breeze. I did get a bit of sunburn, but nothing too bad.
I wanted to cross over Herrington Lake on two different bridges. Riding along Lexington Road (Hwy 34) was a bit hairy at times, so I cut over to Chenault Bridge Road as soon as I could, and crossed over that older bridge.
After a bit of wandering in low-traffic areas for a while, I found my way to Kennedy Bridge Rd, back across the lake, and into the town of Burgin.
From there, I was in the home stretch to finish the ride.
I didn’t ride enough through the week, so even with today’s ride, I only have 91.8 miles for the week.
Looks like a nice day. I found the terrain in that area to not be too bad, but last summer on my near Danville I just about died from the heat.
Glad yours turned out better.
Great pictures, it looks like it was a beautiful day for a ride. I want to live on that little houseboat! I wonder who lives there?
Nice pictures!
That house boat looks inviting.
It was a wonderful ride. I did get a little more sunburned that I originally thought. I wish I were at the houseboat now, just so I could jump in the water and cool down my skin.
