I joined the club this morning for a 60 mile route (actually was 57 but who is counting?). This route took in many of the roads traveled on the Old Kentucky Home Tour but in a reverse manner. The first 30 miles or so were actually the tail end of the Sunday portion of the tour. As we traveled these roads I noticed I was not having to work very hard for most of it was downhill - only proving my statement that the Sunday portion of the tour is much harder than the Saturday routes. Oh well, I enjoyed the free ride.
The second portion of the ride was part of Saturday's route and it was hilly for no matter which way you travel on Routt Road you have hills to climb! The journey up Seatonville Road was as always long and hard - what a miserable climb but I made it to the top and continued on my merry way.
The temperatures today are down, only in the low 90's as we rode. We traveled a lot of beautiful roads and as always I enjoyed all the animals I spied along the way.
It was a good ride, lots of good company, a Little Debbie Swiss Roll snack at the store stop and great weather. One really can't ask for much more in a day.
